Fish and chip van for events for your event in Northbridge Street
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and festivals.
Near Northbridge Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter fairs in Northbridge Street are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
