Fish and chip van for events for your event in Sherfield English
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. We are often asked to cater fish and chip supper nights and club open days, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and chips.
Rural events near Sherfield English can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Working with your venue

Questions from Sherfield English
What’s the nearest station to Sherfield English?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Sherfield English?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening events in Sherfield English have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
