Fish and chip van for events for your event in Stick Hill
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we’re available. Typical bookings include church fêtes and summer fairs, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
At a field event near Stick Hill, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Where the van can park in Stick Hill
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of any power or water on site
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Access that avoids crowds

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them

- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan bins near food stalls
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Common questions in Stick Hill
What’s the nearest station to Stick Hill?
Hever station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
How far is Stick Hill from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices

- The length of service

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
