Fish and chip van hire for Brimpton events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Brimpton
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re frequently asked to cater care home visits and work Christmas parties, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Brimpton, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. 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 it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Common questions in Brimpton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Brimpton close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
