About our fish and chip van for events in Hill Brow
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for club open days and village fêtes.
A fête near Hill Brow might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Where the van can park in Hill Brow
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Details of any power or water on site
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For an evening event in Hill Brow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
