- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Fish and chip van hire in Erriottwood, cooked to order
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. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for weddings and evening receptions and visits to care homes and day centres.
Somewhere as small as Erriottwood, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put bins and napkins by the van
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Erriottwood, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
