How our fish and chip van for events works in Upper Horsebridge
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and charity fundraisers and community events, serving chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Upper Horsebridge, a fête or summer fair suits fish and chips. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Summer events in Upper Horsebridge have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
