How our fish and chip van hire works in Enton Green
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and weddings and evening receptions, serving curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Enton Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Enton 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
