How our fish and chip van for events works in Wiston
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. Popular choices include chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for country shows and fish and chip supper nights.
Near Wiston, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What else we do in Wiston
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Wiston lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
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.
