Fish and chip van hire for Hall's Green events
About our fish and chip van hire in Hall's Green
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and big birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Hall's 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Hall's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
