Why choose a fish and chip van in Peasemore?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Fish and chip van for events in Peasemore, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. We’re frequently asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and sports tournaments, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Rural events near Peasemore can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Peasemore, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Common questions in Peasemore
Is Peasemore close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
