Fish and chip van for events in Stadhampton, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We’re often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and fish and chip supper nights, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At a fête or show near Stadhampton, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.

Stadhampton questions
Which station is closest to Stadhampton?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Is Stadhampton close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van come to Stadhampton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stadhampton is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go

Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
