Fish and chip van for events for Burlow events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Burlow
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and community events and sports club events and race days.
At a fête or show near Burlow, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Burlow: your questions answered
Is Burlow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
