Fish and chip van for events in Warfield
How our fish and chip van for events works in Warfield
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Typical bookings include community open days and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, chips and mushy peas.
A fête near Warfield might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

FAQs for Warfield
What’s the nearest station to Warfield?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Warfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, events in Warfield stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
