About our fish and chip van for events in Birtley Green
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We are frequently asked to cater music and food festivals and sports days, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Birtley Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Birtley Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Birtley Green
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
