About our fish and chip van for events in Longworth
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. Whether it’s sports tournaments and music and food festivals, we can cook chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural events near Longworth can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
It’s 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Common questions in Longworth
How far is Longworth from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Longworth?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer fêtes in Longworth have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
