Fish and chip van for events for your event in Dinton
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re often asked to cater school fairs and sports days and village fêtes, serving curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips.
Near Dinton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
