Fish and chip van for events in Printstile, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For sports days and festivals, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Near Printstile, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Printstile stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Printstile
Do you come out to small places like Printstile?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
