Fish and chip van for events for Mislingford events
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

- No surprises in your quote

Fish and chip van for events in Mislingford, fried fresh
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. For club open days and village fêtes and summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, chips and curry sauce.
At a fête or show near Mislingford, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, events in Mislingford stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Service time
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help

- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
