Fish and chip van for events for your event in Mowshurst
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it’s fundraisers and village fêtes, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural events near Mowshurst can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Access that avoids crowds
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
