Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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. Summer fêtes in East End have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:30pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
