About our fish and chip van for events in Bishopsgate
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For community festivals and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
At a fête or show near Bishopsgate, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bishopsgate? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
