How our fish and chip van for events works in Tingrith
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 school fairs and sports days and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
A fête near Tingrith might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For anyone arriving by train, the nearest station is Harlington station, about 2.1 miles south-east. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Nicholas, are a natural home for a chip van.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Summer fêtes in Tingrith have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
