About our fish and chip van for events in Flemings
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater country shows and sports days, with haddock and chips, chips and cod and chips.
Near Flemings, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Flemings: your questions answered
Is Flemings too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a school fair in Flemings?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan bins near food stalls
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Before you choose a spot
