About our fish and chip van hire in Faygate
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Whether it’s weddings, especially the evening and care home visits, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Faygate, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Late September evenings in Faygate lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Send us 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van

Other occasions in Faygate
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
