Fish and chip van for events for your event in Tatsfield

A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For sports days and agricultural and country shows, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.

In Tatsfield, 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.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Display allergens for each stall
  • Let us know about allergy rules on site
  • Share pitch details
  • Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum

Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.

Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Tatsfield?

At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Why book our van in Tatsfield

  • Rain does not stop the fryers

What happens on the day

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in Tatsfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
