How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Bridgemary stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
