How our fish and chip van for events works in Stocks Green
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. For music and food festivals and crew and volunteer catering, we can cook chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
At a field event near Stocks Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Stocks Green?
A chip van is reliably one of the busiest pitches at any fête.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- School fairs and sports days
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Sports tournaments
- Horse and dog shows
PTAs at schools such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Stocks Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
