Fish and chip van hire for your event in Eastbury
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Eastbury. For christmas parties and birthday celebrations, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Eastbury, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Confirm allergies by email
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Eastbury?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Eastbury, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.

Common questions in Eastbury
How far is Eastbury from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you cover Eastbury?
We do. Eastbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
