Can the van park on grass?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Turnfurlong? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
