How our fish and chip van hire works in Bix
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For wakes and gatherings after a funeral and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In a rural place like Bix, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bix?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Bix: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Bix close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens when we hire the van?
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.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Late September evenings in Bix lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
