Fish and chip van for events in Easton, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We’re often asked to cater school summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering, serving mushy peas, chips and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Easton, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Summer fêtes in Easton have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree who removes waste
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

Church fêtes, at churches such as St. Agnes' Church, are a natural home for a chip van. With the sea within about a mile, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

Questions from Easton
Do you trade at school fairs around Easton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Easton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What affects the price in Easton
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: 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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Information about power and water
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Easton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
