Planning an event in Easton?
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening events in Easton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

- Distance and any road charges

- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Easton?
