Fish and chip van hire in Furzeley Corner, cooked to order
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are often asked to cater work Christmas parties and company team days, with pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In a rural place like Furzeley Corner, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us how many children are coming
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

Questions from Furzeley Corner
Is Furzeley Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at The Mead End: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Where the van can park in Furzeley Corner
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Furzeley Corner

Organising for someone else?

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both

Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
