When there is hot food, people stay longer. Whether it’s fundraisers and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
At a field event near Tye, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
FAQs for Tye
Do you come out to small places like Tye?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Share pitch details
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Tye. December events in Tye lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
