Fish and chip van for events in Kiln Green, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include curry sauce, chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and festivals.
A fête near Kiln Green might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Kiln Green. For an evening event in Kiln Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.

Do you trade at school fairs around Kiln Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
