How our fish and chip van for events works in West Street
When there is hot food, people stay longer. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
At a fête or show near West Street, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

West Street events: pitches and permissions
West Street is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Bookings in West Street come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. West Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
If visitors are coming by train, Lenham station is about 1.6 miles away. School fairs, for a school like The Lenham School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of West Street, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in ME17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an evening event in West Street, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
