Fish and chip van hire in Broad Oak, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. We are frequently asked to cater care home visits and summer garden parties, serving pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Broad Oak, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cover Broad Oak?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Broad Oak. For a quote, use our quote form.
