Fish and chip van for events for your event in Molash
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it is sports days and food for volunteers, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
For a village fête or field event near Molash, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer events in Molash have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
