Fish and chip van for events in Sunnymeads
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Near Sunnymeads, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree who removes waste
- Display allergens for each stall
- Give us an idea of numbers
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A few benches near the van help.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Summer events in Sunnymeads have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
