Running an event in Silver Street
Silver Street is about 3 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the ME9 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Silver Street to Canterbury (about 17 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If your event is in Cromers Wood, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders. Within about 4 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in ME9, we just need to know where the van can park. If your venue is just outside Silver Street, we also cover Bredgar (1 mile east), Oad Street (1 mile north-west), South Green (2 miles west), Danaway (2 miles north-west) and Chestnut Street (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (8 miles south-west), Ashford (14 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-east), Whitstable (15 miles east), Faversham (8 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-east).
A little further out are Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.9 miles north-east) and Bayford Court (3.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Silver Street includes Detling Hill.
- Nearby schools include Westlands School (2.3 miles north)
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
