Fish and chip van for events for your event in Seaton
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. Popular choices include haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and feeding event crew.
A fête near Seaton might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Seaton, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day

- Get permission for the van from the venue
