Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Display allergens for each stall
- Have other stalls for special diets
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Cuddington
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is church fêtes and festivals, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, chips and mushy peas for your guests.
A fête near Cuddington might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

- 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
