Fish and chip van for events in Underling Green, fried fresh
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Whether it is village fêtes and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
At a field event near Underling Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. December events in Underling Green lose the light at about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Underling Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Underling Green?
The closest is Marden station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Set a time for helpers’ food
We set up before visitors arrive.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
