How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer fêtes in Wingham Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. 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.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- 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
