A chip van near Russell's Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Russell's Green
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. For food for volunteers and club open days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Russell's Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
