How our fish and chip van for events works in Boughton Corner
When there is hot food, people stay longer. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater school summer fairs and community open days.
At a field event near Boughton Corner, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Information about power and water
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The day of the week
