Fish and chip van for events in Fernhurst, fried fresh
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and sports days and horse and dog shows, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
At a field event near Fernhurst, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- Parking and the way in
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- The date and time of the event

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
