Fish and chip van for events for your event in Four Elms
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve cod and chips, chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and community festivals.
A fête near Four Elms might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Winter fairs in Four Elms are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Four Elms: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Four Elms?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Four Elms close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
