Fish and chip van for events in North Halling, fried fresh
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fish and chip supper nights and village fêtes.
At a fête or show near North Halling, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

North Halling questions
Is North Halling close to London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Can you come to a school fair in North Halling?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about the pitch
- Settle the pitch terms early
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Send us the date, the address or ME2 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
