About our fish and chip van for events in Upper Wield
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Whether it’s crew and volunteer catering and sports tournaments, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
At a field event near Upper Wield, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Where the van can park in Upper Wield
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
