Fish and chip van for events in Aston
Fish and chip van for events in Aston, cooked to order
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. Typical bookings include church fêtes and festivals, with chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural events near Aston can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Why choose fish and chip van for events in Aston?
It keeps people on site.
In Aston and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Aston are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your event and 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 cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
