About our fish and chip van for events in Broughton
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For fundraisers and feeding event crew, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural events near Broughton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For an evening event in Broughton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare

- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
