About our fish and chip van for events in Crampmoor
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and summer fairs, serving curry sauce, chips and cod and chips.
At a field event near Crampmoor, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, events in Crampmoor stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
