Fish and chip van for events for your event in Nonington
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We are often asked to cater community festivals and country shows, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and chips.
At a field event near Nonington, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events in Nonington have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
