What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Higher Denham
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and sports days and club open days.
At a fête or show near Higher Denham, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Other occasions in Higher Denham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer fêtes in Higher Denham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
