About our fish and chip van hire in Coleshill
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. For gatherings after a funeral and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Somewhere like Coleshill, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Coleshill
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Coleshill from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Light matters for evening service: in Coleshill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
