About our fish and chip van hire in Brook
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. 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 evening wedding food and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Somewhere like Brook, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan bins near the queue
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Evenings in Brook 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
