How our fish and chip van for events works in Shatterling
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we’ll let you know if we’re available. Whether it’s community festivals and fundraisers, we can cook curry sauce, chips and cod and chips.
Rural events near Shatterling can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Questions from Shatterling
Do you come out to small places like Shatterling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Shatterling from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Church fêtes, at churches such as St Mary's Church, are a natural home for a chip van. A school like Wingham Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cover Shatterling and the whole of Kent
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For event organisers in Shatterling
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer fêtes in Shatterling have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Get a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
