How our fish and chip van for events works in Holyport
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for festivals and food for volunteers.
Rural events near Holyport can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Summer fêtes in Holyport have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
