A chip van near Fewcott
How our fish and chip van for events works in Fewcott
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We are frequently asked to cater school summer fairs and sports club events and race days, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Fewcott, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fewcott.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Fewcott have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
Getting a price

Why choose a fish and chip van in Fewcott?

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share pitch details
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas
