Fish and chip van for events in Strand-on-the-Green, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For village fêtes and summer fairs and sports club events and race days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips.
In Strand-on-the-Green, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Strand-on-the-Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
