Fish and chip van for events in Crosswater
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For an evening event in Crosswater, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Fish and chip van for events in Crosswater, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For food for volunteers and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
At a fête or show near Crosswater, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
