About our fish and chip van for events in East Claydon
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. On the menu are cod and chips, chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fish and chip supper nights and fundraisers.
Rural events near East Claydon can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in East Claydon have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.

- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan bins near food stalls
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.

Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
