Fish and chip van for events for your event in Sun Rising
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 sports days and club open days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A fête near Sun Rising might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Questions from Sun Rising
Do you come out to small places like Sun Rising?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cannot 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 usually the easier option.
