London street parties and fairs in Barwell need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. December events in Barwell lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
