What else we do in Hyde End
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Give us break and shift times
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities about access
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Hyde End: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hyde End?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Hyde End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Hyde End is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
