Fish and chip van for events in Little Kimble, fried fresh
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Whether it is agricultural and country shows and fish and chip supper nights, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Little Kimble, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Little Kimble have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
