Fish and chip van for events for Lake End events
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening events in Lake End have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Lake End questions
Can the van park in Haymill Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Lake End?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Lake End? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- 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
