How our fish and chip van for events works in Strawberry Hill
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. Whether it’s sports days and agricultural and country shows, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Strawberry Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Information about power and water
As a London location, Strawberry Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
