Fish and chip van for events for Flexford events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For an evening event in Flexford, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
