The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

For event organisers in Wierton
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Winter fairs in Wierton are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wierton
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Wierton from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree who removes waste
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about the pitch
- Display allergens for each stall
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
