Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Fish and chip van hire in Broughton, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. For christmas parties and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
Around Broughton, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Broughton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Where the van can park in Broughton
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
