Fish and chip van hire for Radfield events
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Radfield
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and milestone birthday parties, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a hamlet or village like Radfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Pie and chips

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cover Radfield and the whole of Kent
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evenings in Radfield stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Radfield
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Radfield?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
