Fish and chip van for events for your event in Boundstone
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We are frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and festivals, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and chips.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Boundstone are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Information about power and water
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Curry sauce

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. 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.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Boundstone have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. 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 is fried on the spot.
