Fish and chip van for events in Exton, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and fish and chip supper nights.
At a fête or show near Exton, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Exton questions
How far is Exton from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Exton?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
