Fish and chip van for events in Stonebridge
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Stonebridge
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Typical bookings include crew and volunteer catering and music and food festivals, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Events in Stonebridge range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events in Stonebridge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
Stonebridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Tell us expected visitor numbers
When the event closes, we pack up.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Working with your venue
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Stonebridge
Can you come to a school fair in Stonebridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
