Fish and chip van for events in Little Chelsea, fried fresh
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We serve chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater community open days and village fêtes and summer fairs.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree the terms in writing
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Little Chelsea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Little Chelsea are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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 is crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Can the van park in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
