Fish and chip van for events in Leadingcross Green, fried fresh
When there is hot food, people stay longer. Whether it’s festivals and village fêtes, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Leadingcross Green, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

- Cod and chips

- Chips
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree the terms in writing
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We set up before visitors arrive.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
