How our fish and chip van hire works in Bewbush
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and school events and evening wedding food.
For a place the size of Bewbush, your own drive is frequently the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Let us know how the van reaches the house. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Bewbush until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
