Fish and chip van for events for your event in Davington
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Whether it’s sports days and music and food festivals, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Davington are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Davington stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van

A closer look at the menu

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
