Fish and chip van for events for Kingsfold events
Fish and chip van for events in Kingsfold, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it’s music and food festivals and school summer fairs, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Rural events near Kingsfold can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Kingsfold. For an evening event in Kingsfold, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
