About our fish and chip van for events in Crossness
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and crew and volunteer catering, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In Crossness, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Questions from Crossness
Can the van park in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Crossness?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Crossness?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. For an evening event in Crossness, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
