About our fish and chip van for events in Old Wolverton
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festivals and sports tournaments.
Summer fairs around Old Wolverton are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 nobody has to miss the event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
