About our fish and chip van hire in Fox
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will suggest what suits your event. For weddings, especially the evening and big birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
For a rural spot like Fox, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Where the van can park in Fox
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Fox questions
Which station is closest to Fox?
Grateley station, about 2.1 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Fox from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan bins near the queue
- A short menu helps everyone
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name

Food your guests will love
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.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evenings in Fox stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- 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 park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
