Fish and chip van for events for your event in North Boarhunt
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraisers and food for volunteers.
For a village fête or field event near North Boarhunt, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
