Fish and chip van for events in Upper Street, cooked to order
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. We serve haddock and chips, chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater fish and chip supper nights and sports tournaments.
At a field event near Upper Street, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. December events in Upper Street lose the light at about 4:05pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
