About our fish and chip van for events in Amen Corner
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and food for volunteers, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For events in a place like Amen Corner, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. In Amen Corner, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
For event organisers in Amen Corner
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
