Fish and chip van hire in Brimpton Common, cooked to order
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For big birthdays and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Brimpton Common, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Questions from Brimpton Common
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
