What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to Stone Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Stone Hill and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Stone Hill
Stone Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Stone Hill is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Stone Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Mary, are a natural home for a chip van. PTAs at schools such as Sellindge Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall. Within about 6 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. With the sea within about 6 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Wherever your event is in TN25, we can bring the van to you. From Stone Hill, Southenay Lane and Cooper's Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
- 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
