Fish and chip van for events for your event in Danaway
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. For charity fundraisers and community events and school summer fairs, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and chips and more.

How the day works

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
