Fish and chip van for events in Worth, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and chips, and we’re frequently booked for music and food festivals and feeding event crew.
A fête near Worth might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Worth
Can you serve near the sea around Worth?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Worth from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Running an event in Worth
Worth is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. For events in Worth, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Events in parks such as Ham Fen need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. PTAs at schools such as Worth Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. The coast is within about 4 miles of Worth, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
