Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

About our fish and chip van for events in Ellen's Green
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can come. We are often asked to cater club open days and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, serving haddock and chips, chips and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Ellen's Green, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss.
