About our fish and chip van for events in Whitmoor Vale
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and food for volunteers, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Whitmoor Vale, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
