Fish and chip van for fêtes, festivals and school events, fried fresh on the day
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone is happy to queue for, from families at a school fair to crowds at a country show.
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs and sports days, festivals, shows and community events. Organisers can book us as a trader on the day, or to feed crew, volunteers and helpers. Send us the event details and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.

How it works
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Pitch requirements
Tell us the pitch size, the ground, vehicle access, and whether there’s power or water. We’ll confirm what we need and what the event needs from us.
Crew and volunteer food
As well as trading to the public, we can feed crew, stewards, volunteers or performers at a time that suits the event.
A fish and chip van compared with other event catering
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Fish and chip van | Fried to order and served hot; a menu almost everyone likes; no kitchen needed | Needs a level, firm spot the van can reach |
| Hog roast | Popular for big outdoor events | One main dish; harder for guests who don’t eat pork |
| Barbecue | Casual and familiar | Food comes off in batches; someone has to cook it |
| Cold buffet | Simple; no vehicle access needed | Food sits out; nothing hot on a cold evening |
| Plated meal | Formal and traditional | Needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head |
