How our fish and chip van hire works in Cooper's Green
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and work Christmas parties.
In a hamlet or village like Cooper's Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins near the queue
- Count children separately
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Cooper's Green?
