Fish and chip van hire for your event in Barnehurst

There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas.

In Barnehurst, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Barnehurst questions

Is parking a problem for the van in Barnehurst?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Can the van park in Braeburn Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

How long will the queue be?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

Is grass a problem?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What is fish and chip van hire?

We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.

Can you serve children?

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Planners, venues and businesses

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Plan bins near the queue
Give us separate numbers for children

After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Step by step

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Around midsummer it stays light in Barnehurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Get permission for the van from the venue
Name one person we can call on the day

How much does a fish and chip van cost to hire?

What affects the price in Barnehurst

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

The length of service
The minimum booking
Cod, haddock or both
Travel, tolls and road charges

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

Roughly how many people, including children
Anything awkward about the way in
Where you’d like the van to go
The date and when you’d like to eat

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
