Fish and chip van for events in Gossops Green, fried fresh
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Typical bookings include church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals, serving curry sauce, chips and haddock and chips.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Gossops Green are made for a chip van. Send us the pitch and access details. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What affects the price in Gossops Green
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Gossops Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
