How our fish and chip van for events works in Hulverstone
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. On the menu are chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
At a field event near Hulverstone, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Where the van can park in Hulverstone

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
