How our fish and chip van for events works in Granborough
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re frequently asked to cater agricultural and country shows and community open days, with mushy peas, chips and haddock and chips.
Near Granborough, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Perfect for your event in Granborough
We keep cooking in the rain.

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Information about power and water
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Granborough
Can you come to a school fair in Granborough?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Granborough close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Granborough.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree who removes waste
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events in Granborough have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
