Fish and chip van for events for Queen Street events
Fish and chip van for events in Queen Street, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We’re frequently asked to cater food for volunteers and music and food festivals, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.
A fête near Queen Street might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Queen Street. In Queen Street, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

- The day of the week
- The length of service

Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Access that avoids crowds
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
