A chip van near North Hyde
How our fish and chip van for events works in North Hyde
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We’re often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and food for volunteers, serving sausage and chips, chips and curry sauce.
Events in North Hyde range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

North Hyde questions

What about parking in North Hyde?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Who clears up?

What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What affects the price in North Hyde
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events in North Hyde have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.

Before we arrive
