Fish and chip van hire for your event in Finstock
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Finstock. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
In a rural place like Finstock, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why Finstock hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out
- All the chip-shop extras
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Finstock, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
