About our fish and chip van for events in Leafield
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. We are often asked to cater sports club events and race days and food for volunteers, with curry sauce, chips and cod and chips.
A fête near Leafield might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
