FAQs for Stalisfield Green
How far is Stalisfield Green from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, events in Stalisfield Green stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Settle the pitch terms early
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
