Fish and chip van for events for your event in Conyer
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We are often asked to cater summer fairs and community festivals, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Conyer, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Something for visitors to gather round

Space, access and the venue

Common questions in Conyer
Do you come out to small places like Conyer?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Conyer close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What else we do in Conyer
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Display allergens for each stall
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evening events in Conyer have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
