Fish and chip van hire for Golden Green events
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Golden Green
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Whether it is garden parties and summer get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Somewhere as small as Golden Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What affects the price in Golden Green
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
