Fish and chip van for events for Denton events
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Denton lose the light at about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Tell us about the pitch
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
