About our fish and chip van for events in Cookham Dean
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and fish and chip supper nights.
A fête near Cookham Dean might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. We serve from the hatch, so it’s 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 price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, events in Cookham Dean stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Questions from Cookham Dean
Do you come out to small places like Cookham Dean?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
