Fish and chip van for events in Ware, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for music and food festivals and fundraisers.
At a field event near Ware, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Bookings across Kent, including Ware
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. For an evening event in Ware, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
