Fish and chip van for events in Chadlington, cooked to order
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. We’re frequently asked to cater sports tournaments and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
At a fête or show near Chadlington, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Chadlington, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
