Fish and chip van for events in Boughton Lees, cooked to order
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and agricultural and country shows.
At a fête or show near Boughton Lees, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Boughton Lees have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
