Fish and chip van for events in Greenhill, cooked to order
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for charity fundraisers and community events and church fêtes.
In Greenhill, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 is crisp.
What affects the price in Greenhill
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
