Fish and chip van for events in Aspley Guise, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. For fish and chip supper nights and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Summer fêtes in Aspley Guise have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
