About our fish and chip van for events in Broxhill
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For feeding event crew and summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A fête near Broxhill might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Where the van can park in Broxhill
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Summer fêtes in Broxhill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
