About our fish and chip van hire in Great Kimble
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We serve cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater care home visits and christmas parties.
Somewhere like Great Kimble, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Great Kimble
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Great Kimble?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Around midsummer it stays light in Great Kimble until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
