A chip van near Hill End

Fish and chip van for events in Hill End, fried fresh

Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We’re frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and sports days, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

A fête near Hill End might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Let us know about allergy rules on site
  • Tell us about the pitch
  • Tell us expected visitor numbers
  • Have other stalls for special diets

Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.

Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Service time
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The day of the week

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Hill End: your questions answered

Can you come to a school fair in Hill End?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.

Can the van park in The Green?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.

Can you feed our volunteers and crew?

Yes. Give us numbers and a time.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What can visitors choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Space for a queue away from paths
  • Agreement from the site for a catering van
  • Information about power and water

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How to compare vans

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events in Hill End have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. It starts with your event and pitch details.
  2. You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
  3. We set up before the gates open.
  4. We cook fresh and serve through the day.
  5. At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Getting a price

Send us the date, the address or UB9 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
