About our fish and chip van for events in Broughton
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals, with chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Events near Broughton are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter fairs in Broughton are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Broughton?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Broughton
