Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Fencott
Can you come to a school fair in Fencott?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Fencott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. December events in Fencott lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
