How our fish and chip van for events works in Adstock
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and summer fairs and festivals.
A fête near Adstock might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Adstock are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Display allergens for each stall
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. 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 nobody has to miss the event.
Occasions we serve in Adstock

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
