Fish and chip van for events for your event in Fringford
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We are often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and music and food festivals, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.

FAQs for Fringford
Is Fringford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Fringford from London?

Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What affects the price in Fringford
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go

The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Fringford are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
