About our fish and chip van for events in Easebourne
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re often asked to cater feeding event crew and agricultural and country shows, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.
At a fête or show near Easebourne, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Where the van can park in Easebourne
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Details of any power or water on site
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

Easebourne: your questions answered
How far is Easebourne from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Easebourne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Easebourne.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Easebourne have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
