Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Fish and chip van for events in Mill End, cooked to order
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for summer fairs and sports club events and race days.
A fête near Mill End might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer fêtes in Mill End have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
