Fish and chip van hire in Chackmore, fried fresh
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it is community events and fairs and milestone birthday parties, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
Somewhere as small as Chackmore, 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 bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Chackmore
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Confirm allergies by email
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Chackmore
Is Chackmore close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
