What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Brimsdown?
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Care home visits
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Gatherings after a funeral
If guests are travelling by rail, Brimsdown has its own station, Brimsdown station.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there’s a minimum
- The deposit and payment dates
- The van’s size and access needs
- What happens if plans change
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Brimsdown, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
