Fish and chip van for events for your event in North Camp
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We serve chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew and volunteer catering and community festivals.
Around North Camp, a fête or summer fair suits fish and chips. Send us the pitch and access details. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

North Camp: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to North Camp?
North Camp station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
Can the van park in Ramillies Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in North Camp?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
