How our fish and chip van for events works in Whaddon
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. Whether it’s summer fairs and church fêtes, we can cook chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
Rural events near Whaddon can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us

- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Takeaway run or book a 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.
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.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer fêtes in Whaddon have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
