Fish and chip van for events for your event in Warden
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and sports days.
Rural events near Warden can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events in Warden have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
