Fish and chip van for events for Wingham events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Wingham
When there is hot food, people stay longer. Typical bookings include school fairs and sports days and feeding event crew, serving haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Wingham, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer fêtes in Wingham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree who removes waste
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Questions from Wingham
Is Wingham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Wingham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do festivals?
Frequently, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
