About our fish and chip van for events in Beedon
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Typical bookings include sports tournaments and food for volunteers, with chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At a field event near Beedon, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Make sure allergen information is available
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
