Fish and chip van for events in Wendover, fried fresh
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We’re often asked to cater music and food festivals and school fairs and sports days, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Events near Wendover are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wendover?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?

Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Can the van park on grass?
