Fish and chip van for events in Stockland Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Stockland Green
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. Popular choices include mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for sports club events and race days and crew and volunteer catering.
A fête near Stockland Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December events in Stockland Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
