Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter fairs in Boarhunt are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Boarhunt?
It keeps people on site for longer.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Do you come out to small places like Boarhunt?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
