About our fish and chip van for events in Mindenhurst
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it’s charity fundraisers and community events and music and food festivals, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
A fête near Mindenhurst might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share pitch details
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
When the event closes, we pack up.
A few benches near the van help.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- School summer fairs
- Food for volunteers
- Sports club events and race days
- Agricultural and country shows
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
What your quote should include
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- A clear list of what’s included
- The cancellation terms
- Whether there is a minimum
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Winter fairs in Mindenhurst are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 typically simpler.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
