Fish and chip van for events in Fifield
About our fish and chip van for events in Fifield
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We’re frequently asked to cater horse and dog shows and school fairs and sports days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural events near Fifield can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Fifield lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why Fifield hosts choose us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
