Planning a chip van in TN4
Across TN4, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough and Broadwater Down or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Southborough: After a service at Christ Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Southborough CofE Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Evenings in Southborough stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

FAQs for TN4
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
