About our fish and chip van for events in Sedrup
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. For club open days and country shows, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
At a field event near Sedrup, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Winter fairs in Sedrup are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
