Fish and chip van hire in Bodle Street Green, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for garden get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Bodle Street Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
