Fish and chip van for events for your event in Meadle
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We are often asked to cater feeding event crew and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Meadle, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events in Meadle have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
