How our fish and chip van for events works in Bagmore
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. Typical bookings include sports days and village fêtes and summer fairs, with chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Bagmore, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, events in Bagmore stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Have other stalls for special diets
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
