Fish and chip van hire for your event in Ellen's Green
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
Somewhere as small as Ellen's Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating

- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Ellen's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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.
