Fish and chip van for events in Empshott, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Whether it’s summer fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Empshott, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 is crisp.
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.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events in Empshott have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
