How our fish and chip van for events works in George Green
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. Typical bookings include village fêtes and summer fairs and country shows, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
A fête near George Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from George Green
Is George Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around George Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
