Fish and chip van for events for your event in East Anton

For events in a place like East Anton, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Other occasions in East Anton
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

For event organisers in East Anton
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. December events in East Anton lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

East Anton questions
How far is East Anton from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in East Anton?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
We set up before visitors arrive.
