How our fish and chip van for events works in Newport Pagnell
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is music and food festivals and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Newport Pagnell, a good food stall can make an event. Fish and chips is a reliable draw. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Summer fêtes in Newport Pagnell have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm 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.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
