Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Fish and chip van for events in Queenborough, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Whether it’s school summer fairs and charity fundraisers and community events, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Summer fairs around Queenborough are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Share pitch details
We set up before visitors arrive.
A few benches near the van help.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter fairs in Queenborough are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
