Fish and chip van for events in South Green, fried fresh
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For crew and volunteer catering and summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
At a fête or show near South Green, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share pitch details
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
