Book the van in Dinton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Dinton
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Whether it’s fish and chip days at care homes and birthday celebrations, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Dinton, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- A short menu helps everyone
- Put allergy details in writing
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Dinton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
