Fresh fish and chips in Wadwick
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Details of any power or water on site
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Fish and chip van for events for your event in Wadwick
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. Typical bookings include sports days and crew and volunteer catering, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Wadwick, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Set a time for helpers’ food
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events in Wadwick have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
