Planning an event in New Copse?
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Fish and chip van for events in New Copse, fried fresh
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. We’re frequently asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and horse and dog shows, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and chips.
At a fête or show near New Copse, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Planners, venues and businesses
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 work through them with you.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer fêtes in New Copse have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
