A chip van near Wick Hill
About our fish and chip van for events in Wick Hill
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and crew and volunteer catering.
For events in a place like Wick Hill, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. At midsummer, events in Wick Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
