Fish and chip van for events in Statenborough, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. We’re frequently asked to cater church fêtes and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and chips.
Rural events near Statenborough can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For an evening event in Statenborough, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Occasions we serve in Statenborough
It is low-maintenance for organisers.
