About our fish and chip van for events in Horsebridge
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. Whether it is music and food festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
At a field event near Horsebridge, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Looking after everyone

- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Ensure allergen information is available
When the event closes, we pack up.
A few benches near the van help.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter fairs in Horsebridge are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
