Fish and chip van for events for Dunsbury events
About our fish and chip van for events in Dunsbury
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and school summer fairs.
Rural events near Dunsbury can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. December events in Dunsbury lose the light at about 4:05pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
For somewhere as remote as Dunsbury, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

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 you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
