Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree who removes waste
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A few benches near the van help.

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Ower, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Ower have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
