Fish and chip van hire in Brookhampton, fried fresh

In a small place like Brookhampton, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Brookhampton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?

Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
