Fish and chip van for events for your event in Booker
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and sports days and village fêtes.
Around Booker, a fête or summer fair suits fish and chips. Send us the pitch and access details. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Booker lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Details of any power or water on site
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
What affects the price in Booker
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
