Fish and chip van hire in Durley Street, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and staff lunches and team days, with curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Durley Street, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
For event organisers in Durley Street
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins near the queue
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Durley Street until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
