Fish and chip van for events for your event in Wainscott
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Typical bookings include charity fundraisers and community events and school fairs and sports days, serving chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Wainscott, a fête or summer fair suits fish and chips. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Wainscott: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wainscott?
The closest is Strood station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
How far is Wainscott from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Have other stalls for special diets
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. For an evening event in Wainscott, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- 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
