How our fish and chip van for events works in Dogmersfield
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For country shows and charity fundraisers and community events, we’ll put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
At a field event near Dogmersfield, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Put bins near the queue.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Dogmersfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
