Fish and chip van for events for your event in Battramsley
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We are frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Battramsley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Battramsley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
