A chip van near Yateley
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Yateley
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Whether it is sports days and fundraisers, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Yateley, schools, clubs and churches run summer events. Fish and chips suits any of them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Details of any power or water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
