Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
About our fish and chip van for events in Angel
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp. For community festivals and sports club events and race days, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, chips and cod and chips and more.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer events in Angel have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
