DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Mursley
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it is school fairs and sports days and summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Rural events near Mursley can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Share pitch details
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Set a time for helpers’ food
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Mursley questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Mursley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Mursley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before you book
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Summer fêtes in Mursley have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
