Fish and chip van for events for Rosehill events
About our fish and chip van for events in Rosehill
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and horse and dog shows.
Events in Rosehill range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Can you come to a school fair in Rosehill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.

Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Rosehill?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Looking after everyone

- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree the terms in writing
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Plan where the queue forms.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Rosehill?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
For event organisers in Rosehill
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Rosehill 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Where the van can park in Rosehill
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Rosehill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
