Fish and chip van for events for your event in Beare Green
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. Whether it’s fish and chip supper nights and community open days, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
At a field event near Beare Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, events in Beare Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
