Fish and chip van for events in Blackmoor, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include summer fairs and community festivals, serving chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Blackmoor, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Blackmoor, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree when volunteers will eat
We set up before visitors arrive.
A few benches near the van help.
