Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bradwell Abbey? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What a fish and chip van costs

- A photo of the parking spot

Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bradwell Abbey?
For a lovely, simple occasion, a chip van visit is hard to beat in Bradwell Abbey. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
