Fish and chip van for events in Cufaude, cooked to order
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. Popular choices include chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater feeding event crew and school fairs and sports days.
At a field event near Cufaude, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Something for visitors to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Cufaude, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
