How our fish and chip van for events works in Weald
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. For club open days and sports days, we will put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A fête near Weald might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Questions from Weald
Do you come out to small places like Weald?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Weald?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cover Weald?
We do. Weald is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Where the van can park in Weald
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Space for a queue away from paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book our van in Weald
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan bins near food stalls
Put bins near the queue.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
