If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Catsfield Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If your event is in Ashburnham Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Catsfield: your questions answered
Is Catsfield close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Catsfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event usually works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Is there a non-fish option?

Can you feed our volunteers and crew?

How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Catsfield?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter fairs in Catsfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:45pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
