Fresh fish and chips in Burntcommon

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Burntcommon
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and agricultural and country shows, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and chips for your guests.
Rural events near Burntcommon can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Burntcommon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Burntcommon, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:

We set up before visitors arrive.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
