Fish and chip van for events in Baughurst, fried fresh
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for food for volunteers and club open days.
At a field event near Baughurst, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. At midsummer, events in Baughurst stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
