Fish and chip van for events for your event in Henhurst
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For music and food festivals and school fairs and sports days, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips for your guests.
Rural events near Henhurst can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. 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.

What affects the price in Henhurst
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Henhurst. Winter fairs in Henhurst are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Details of any power or water on site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Henhurst questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Henhurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Henhurst?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
