Fish and chip van for events for your event in St Peter's
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it is sports club events and race days and food for volunteers, we will put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For events in a place like St Peter's, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Running an event in St Peter's
St Peter's is about 1 mile north-west of Broadstairs, in Kent. We cover St Peter's as standard, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
A school like Dane Court Grammar School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Church fêtes, at churches such as Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, are a natural home for a chip van. The coast is within about 3 miles of St Peter's, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We cover events in every part of CT10 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a house on Upton Road, Green Lane and Speke Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. You will find St Peter's on the A255, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Broadstairs (1 mile south-east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Northwood (1 mile south-west), Northdown (1 mile north) and Kingsgate (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Deal (10 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (11 miles south), Whitfield (15 miles south), Sandwich (7 miles south-west) and Aylesham (13 miles south-west).

- Nearby schools include The Charles Dickens School (within half a mile south-east) and Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School (0.6 miles north-east)

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in St Peter's? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

Questions from St Peter's
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is St Peter's from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including St Peter's.
