- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How our fish and chip van for events works in North Street
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. For fish and chip supper nights and school summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and chips for your guests.
At a field event near North Street, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
