How our fish and chip van for events works in Warminghurst
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For club open days and fish and chip supper nights, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
At a field event near Warminghurst, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events in Warminghurst have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
