About our fish and chip van for events in Grange
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. Whether it is sports days and country shows, we can cook curry sauce, chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Grange, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Questions from Grange
Is Grange close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Grange?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we will agree terms.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
