About our fish and chip van hire in Broadwater
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and big birthdays.
There may be a hall or club near Broadwater if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Something for guests to gather round

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Broadwater, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
