About our fish and chip van for events in Lawrence Hill
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. For summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Summer fairs around Lawrence Hill are often run by volunteers, so a self-sufficient van helps. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December events in Lawrence Hill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
