What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in Warnham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat in Warnham. 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?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
