How our fish and chip van hire works in Hawridge
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for company team days and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
In a small place like Hawridge, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Hawridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

What affects the price in Hawridge
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
