About our fish and chip van for events in Little Barrington
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it is sports club events and race days and church fêtes, we can cook chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
At a field event near Little Barrington, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, events in Little Barrington stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
