A chip van near Berrylands
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Give us an idea of numbers

Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Fish and chip van for events in Berrylands, fried fresh
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it is village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and chips and more.
In Berrylands, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Berrylands stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

What about parking in Berrylands?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

How do you handle allergies?

Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
