Fish and chip van for events in Send, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it’s village fêtes and summer fairs and food for volunteers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Send are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
FAQs for Send
Can you come to a school fair in Send?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Send from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you cover Send?
We do. Send is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events in Send have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- 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 pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
