Fish and chip van for events in Chalksole Green, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Typical bookings include village fêtes and fish and chip supper nights, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
At a field event near Chalksole Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

It keeps people on site.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:

Kearsney station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
How fast is service?

How soon do we need to book?

Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What happens on the day
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. Winter fairs in Chalksole Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:45pm.
