Fish and chip van for events for your event in Sheet's Heath
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports tournaments and community open days.
At a field event near Sheet's Heath, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A clear quote before booking
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
