Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Temple Valley.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.

It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

We can. Give us numbers and a time.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Temple Valley
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports tournaments, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A fête near Temple Valley might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- What’s available on the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 normally the easier option.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer fêtes in Temple Valley have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
