Fish and chip van for events in Stockbridge, cooked to order
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We’re often asked to cater community festivals and school summer fairs, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Stockbridge, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Stockbridge stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

- Name one person we can call on the day

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Stockbridge
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
