Fish and chip van for events for your event in Wokefield
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and village fêtes, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
A fête near Wokefield might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
What affects the price in Wokefield
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Wokefield, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

Is Wokefield too small for a chip van?

Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
