A summer fête at Church of All Saints is the classic setting for a fish and chip van.

With the sea within about 2 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Winter fairs in Westbrook are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:45pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
