Fish and chip van hire in Clayhill, fried fresh
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We’re often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and big birthdays, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Clayhill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Clayhill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
