Fish and chip van hire for your event in Anmore
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. Whether it is staff lunches and team days and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Anmore, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Around midsummer it stays light in Anmore until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.

- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Organising for someone else?

Anmore: venues, parking and local tips

If you are gathering after a service at a church like The Mead End, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. For a fundraiser at a school like Denmead Infant School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Anmore?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Anmore questions
Can you serve after a service at The Mead End?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Anmore from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
