DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Newington Green
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and club open days.
Street parties and school fairs in Newington Green are a great fit for a chip van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

- Whether a minimum applies

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an evening event in Newington Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
