About our fish and chip van for events in Nash Street
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Whether it is sports club events and race days and school fairs and sports days, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
A fête near Nash Street might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, events in Nash Street stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
