Fish and chip van for events in Hedgerley Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Hedgerley Green
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. On the menu are haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for community festivals and sports club events and race days.
For a village fête or field event near Hedgerley Green, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening events in Hedgerley Green have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Hedgerley Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share any nut or allergy policies
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is

A fish and chip van or other catering?

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
FAQs for Hedgerley Green
Is Hedgerley Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
