How our fish and chip van for events works in Longwick
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For horse and dog shows and community open days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Summer fairs around Longwick are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Longwick: your questions answered
Is Longwick close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a fish and chip van is a great choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Longwick, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
