Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Give us an idea of numbers
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Common questions in Warborough
Do you come out to small places like Warborough?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Winter fairs in Warborough are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
