Fish and chip van for events for your event in Lee Common
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We’re often asked to cater food for volunteers and school fairs and sports days, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Lee Common, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event usually works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
