Fish and chip van for events in Wivelrod, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. For feeding event crew and school summer fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and mushy peas and more.
At a field event near Wivelrod, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Questions from Wivelrod
Is Wivelrod too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Wivelrod?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Wivelrod?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wivelrod?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Where the van can park in Wivelrod
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evening events in Wivelrod have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
