Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events in Queensbury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Queensbury: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Queensbury?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is parking a problem for the van in Queensbury?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
