About our fish and chip van hire in Domewood
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We are frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Domewood, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
About the food

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Late September evenings in Domewood lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
