Fish and chip van hire for your event in Brockbridge
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and weddings, especially the evening.
In a rural place like Brockbridge, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan bins near the queue
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us how many children are coming
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
FAQs for Brockbridge
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Brockbridge close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.

Other occasions in Brockbridge
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What you get with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- A quote that spells everything out
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Late September evenings in Brockbridge lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
