About our fish and chip van for events in Whiteleaf
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and community festivals.
A fête near Whiteleaf might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Whiteleaf: your questions answered
Is Whiteleaf too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Whiteleaf from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service

- Access and parking

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an evening event in Whiteleaf, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
