Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer fêtes in Newick have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- 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 cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Newick
Could you trade in Sheffield Park Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Settle the pitch terms early
When the event closes, we pack up.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event

- The date and time of year
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
