Fish and chip van hire in Green Street Green
How our fish and chip van hire works in Green Street Green
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re often asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and birthday celebrations, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Green Street Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A short menu helps everyone
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Green Street Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
