Fish and chip van hire in Cade Street, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Cade Street. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for community events and fairs and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Cade Street, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Cade Street questions
Do you come out to small places like Cade Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Cade Street from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Cade Street?
