Fish and chip van for events in Langton Green
Working with your venue

Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for club open days and country shows.
For events in a place like Langton Green, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December events in Langton Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
- 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
