How the day works

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. After-work summer events in Washington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Share the timings for the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Washington?

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Why book our van in Washington

  • No kitchen needed
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

What the van needs

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips
