About our fish and chip van for events in Fyfield
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. For school fairs and sports days and feeding event crew, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
A fête near Fyfield might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us an idea of numbers

We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
