Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for summer fairs and fundraisers.
Near Sheet Hill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Summer fêtes in Sheet Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare

Planning help
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

What else we do in Sheet Hill
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Sheet Hill. 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
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Events in Sheet Hill and across Kent
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Access that avoids crowds
- Details of any power or water on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Sheet Hill
Can the van park in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Sheet Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
