Fish and chip van for events in Cliffs End, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. For festivals and sports days, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips.
At a fête or show near Cliffs End, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Cliffs End, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
