Fish and chip van for events in Halton, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is food for volunteers and school summer fairs, we will put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural events near Halton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events in Halton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
