Fish and chip van for events in Hall's Green, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Typical bookings include club open days and community festivals, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural events near Hall's Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your visitors already know
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
