Fish and chip van for events for your event in Lewson Street
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For crew and volunteer catering and fundraisers, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Rural events near Lewson Street can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an evening event in Lewson Street, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
