Fish and chip van hire in Chalksole Green, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it’s birthday celebrations and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Chalksole Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Light matters for evening service: in Chalksole Green, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
