Fish and chip van hire for your event in Burwash Common
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Burwash Common, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For event organisers in Burwash Common
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. In Burwash Common, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day

What else we do in Burwash Common
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
