Fish and chip van for events in Ramsnest Common, fried fresh
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is charity fundraisers and community events and sports days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Ramsnest Common, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Ramsnest Common

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. December events in Ramsnest Common lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
