Fish and chip van for events for your event in Fickleshole
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. We are frequently asked to cater club open days and festivals, with chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
A fête near Fickleshole might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

The process
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer events in Fickleshole have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
