Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Stuppington
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stuppington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Fish and chip van for events in Stuppington, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it is music and food festivals and school fairs and sports days, we can cook chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
Rural events near Stuppington can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. At midsummer, events in Stuppington stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
