Fish and chip van for events in Newton Valence, fried fresh
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for feeding event crew and sports tournaments.
Near Newton Valence, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Service time
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or GU34 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Newton Valence stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
