Fresh fish and chips in Stubbington
About our fish and chip van for events in Stubbington
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we are available. We’re often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and crew and volunteer catering, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Stubbington, one popular trader keeps it simple. Fish and chips does exactly that. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
What comes out of the fryer
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.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Stubbington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events in Stubbington have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue

- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
