Fresh fish and chips in Broadfields Estate

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Broadfields Estate

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 suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include christmas parties and garden get-togethers, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

In Broadfields Estate, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

About the food

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

How we price a fish and chip van

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Service time
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The number of meals
  • Any minimum charge

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Your date and serving time
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why book with us

  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Quick service from the hatch

Choosing a fish and chip van

Diets, allergies and planning

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Fewer choices mean faster service
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

How the day works

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evenings in Broadfields Estate stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Clear the route for the van

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
