A chip van near Greenhill
How our fish and chip van for events works in Greenhill
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include village fêtes and horse and dog shows, with haddock and chips, chips and cod and chips.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Greenhill are made for a chip van. Send us the pitch and access details. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Greenhill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. At midsummer, events in Greenhill stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
What affects the price in Greenhill
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu

Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
