About our fish and chip van for events in Fulmer
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Whether it is feeding event crew and agricultural and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
At a field event near Fulmer, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Information about power and water
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Fulmer
- Cod and chips

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Fulmer stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What affects the price in Fulmer
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
