DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
When the event closes, we pack up.
A few benches near the van help.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Watersfield
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events in Watersfield have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
