Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Holme Green hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

How our fish and chip van for events works in Holme Green
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Typical bookings include village fêtes and food for volunteers, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and chips.
Rural events near Holme Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How the day works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter fairs in Holme Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

About the food
