About our fish and chip van hire in Culverstone Green
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We are often asked to cater community events and fairs and staff thank-you lunches, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Culverstone Green, a yard or firm field frequently 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.

Is Culverstone Green close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Culverstone Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Does the batter contain gluten?

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
