About our fish and chip van for events in Spanish Green
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. Whether it’s horse and dog shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Rural events near Spanish Green 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 it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Spanish Green
How far is Spanish Green from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Spanish Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Spanish Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
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 a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Where the van can park in Spanish Green
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Information about power and water
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer fêtes in Spanish Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
