About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
About our fish and chip van for events in Morestead
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We’re often asked to cater music and food festivals and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, chips and mushy peas.
Rural events near Morestead can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Morestead
Is Morestead too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Morestead close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. In Morestead, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
