Fresh fish and chips in Brockham
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Brockham
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater fundraisers and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
At a field event near Brockham, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. December events in Brockham lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How we price a fish and chip van for your event

- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 normally simpler.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree who removes waste
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
