Running an event in Toy's Hill
Toy's Hill is about 4 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Greater London. People in Toy's Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Toy's Hill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
A school like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. If visitors are coming by train, Edenbridge station, about 3.2 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Within about 7 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
Anywhere in TN16, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Scords Lane and Puddledock Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For events just outside Toy's Hill, we cover Ide Hill (1 mile east), Brasted Chart (1 mile north), Goathurst Common (2 miles east), Brasted (2 miles north) and Sundridge (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Orpington (10 miles north), Thornton Heath (14 miles north-west), Croydon (12 miles north-west), Bromley (12 miles north), West Norwood (15 miles north-west) and Beckenham (13 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Hever Castle (3.9 miles south) and Tandridge Priory (3.5 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Dryhill Nature Reserve and Betsom's Hill.

Fish and chip van for events in Toy's Hill, fried fresh
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and club open days.
In Toy's Hill, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
Toy's Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Toy's Hill questions
Could you trade in Stubbs Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
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.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
A chip van compared with other options
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Toy's Hill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
