About our fish and chip van for events in Brunswick

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For event organisers in Brunswick
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Diets, allergies and planning

Common questions in Brunswick
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in St. Ann's Well Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Running an event in Brunswick

Events in parks such as St. Ann's Well Gardens need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

With the sea within about a mile, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer fêtes in Brunswick have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
