How our fish and chip van for events works in Four Throws
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for school fairs and sports days and fundraisers.
At a field event near Four Throws, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Four Throws
Is Four Throws too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you have a kids’ option?

How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue

- What’s available on the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share pitch details

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 generally 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.
