How our fish and chip van for events works in Chicheley
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can come. We’re frequently asked to cater country shows and crew and volunteer catering, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Chicheley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Summer events in Chicheley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

For event organisers in Chicheley
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Questions from Chicheley
How far is Chicheley from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Chicheley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What affects the price in Chicheley
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Where the van can park in Chicheley
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Information about power and water
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
