Fish and chip van hire for your event in Bisley
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and big birthdays, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Bisley, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Common questions in Bisley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Bisley hosts choose us

- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
After service, we pack up.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Where the van can park in Bisley

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
