About our fish and chip van hire in Forty Green

Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and fish and chip days at care homes, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy.

In a hamlet or village like Forty Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How to compare vans

For event organisers in Forty Green

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Can’t 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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Before you choose a spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A spot near your guests
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we serve

  • Chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
  • Add an allergy question to your invitations
  • Count children separately

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The date and time of year
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Cod, haddock or both

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A picture of where the van would go

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Late September evenings in Forty Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready
