Fresh fish and chips in Brick Hill
Fish and chip van hire in Brick Hill, fried fresh
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas parties and visits to care homes and day centres.
In a hamlet or village like Brick Hill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are 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 normally simpler.

What else we do in Brick Hill
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What do you bring?

How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Brick Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
