How it works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Aldborough Hatch have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Send round an allergy question

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Aldborough Hatch?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What you get with us

  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Hot food handed straight over
