How our fish and chip van for events works in Fairwarp
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We are frequently asked to cater charity fundraisers and community events and country shows, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Rural events near Fairwarp can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, events in Fairwarp stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Haddock and chips
