Fish and chip van hire in Amport, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for care home visits and birthday celebrations.
Somewhere like Amport, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Amport until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
