Fish and chip van for events for Barton Stacey events
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Barton Stacey
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. Typical bookings include summer fairs and club open days, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Rural events near Barton Stacey can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Where the van can park in Barton Stacey
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Winter fairs in Barton Stacey are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan bins near food stalls
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
