How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in The Hangers are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or SO32 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A van that becomes part of the event

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
