Fish and chip van for events for your event in Moorhouse Bank
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and club open days, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and chips.
In Moorhouse Bank, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: 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.

What affects the price in Moorhouse Bank
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Moorhouse Bank have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
