Fish and chip van for events in Wrotham, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it’s feeding event crew and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
A fête near Wrotham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Summer fêtes in Wrotham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Wrotham: your questions answered
Is Wrotham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Wrotham?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
