Fish and chip van for events in Milton Regis, fried fresh
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and horse and dog shows.
Rural events near Milton Regis can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer events in Milton Regis have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
