Fish and chip van for events in Holybourne, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are often booked for village fêtes and summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering.
For a village fête or field event near Holybourne, 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 service is quick once we are up and running.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
