About our fish and chip van for events in Farlington
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it is feeding event crew and school summer fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and chips and more.
For events in a place like Farlington, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about the pitch
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
