How our fish and chip van hire works in Chute Forest
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
In a rural place like Chute Forest, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
FAQs for Chute Forest
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Chute Forest?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover Chute Forest?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Chute Forest. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A chip van compared with other options
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. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote
