Fish and chip van for events for your event in Broughton
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it’s fundraisers and sports days, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
For events in a place like Broughton, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Share pitch details
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Questions from Broughton
How far is Broughton from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Broughton?
Woburn Sands station, about 2.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- What’s available on the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 generally simpler.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
