Fresh fish and chips in Bledington
Fish and chip van hire in Bledington, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For company team days and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In a rural place like Bledington, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Light matters for evening service: in Bledington, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat

Bledington questions
Is Bledington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Bledington, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- A short menu helps everyone
- Plan bins near the queue
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
