Fish and chip van for events in Green Cross, cooked to order
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fairs and fundraisers.
A fête near Green Cross might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
