About our fish and chip van for events in Bay View
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We are often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports days, with chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Bay View, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree the terms in writing
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Bay View, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
