Fish and chip van hire for Fisher events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Fisher
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for garden parties and summer get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening.
For a rural spot like Fisher, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Light matters for evening service: in Fisher, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
