Fish and chip van for events for Tiptoe events
Fish and chip van for events in Tiptoe, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it is village fêtes and festivals, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural events near Tiptoe can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Tiptoe?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Share pitch details
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree the terms in writing
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

FAQs for Tiptoe
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
