About our fish and chip van hire in Enborne Row

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and big birthdays, we can cook haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips and more.

Somewhere like Enborne Row, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Step by step

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Enborne Row, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

For event organisers in Enborne Row

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The date and time of year
  • Service time
  • Any minimum charge
  • The number of meals

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Occasions we serve in Enborne Row

It suits relaxed, sociable events, where people can wander up when they’re ready.

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Enborne Row, people book us for events such as:

  • Christmas parties
  • Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
  • Community events and fairs
  • Staff thank-you lunches

After a service at St Luke Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How allergens are handled
  • What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • Whether there is a minimum

Choosing a fish and chip van

Is Enborne Row too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

How does fish and chip van hire work?

We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch

Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
