About our fish and chip van for events in Linkhill
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. Typical bookings include crew and volunteer catering and club open days, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
For a village fête or field event near Linkhill, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, events in Linkhill stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Linkhill: your questions answered
How far is Linkhill from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Share pitch details
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
