Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Silver Hill questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Silver Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer fêtes in Silver Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
