About our fish and chip van for events in Wolverton Common
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We serve chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for community open days and sports tournaments.
At a field event near Wolverton Common, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works

Summer fêtes in Wolverton Common have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
