About our fish and chip van for events in North Moreton
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for summer fairs and charity fundraisers and community events.
Rural events near North Moreton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
