Fresh fish and chips in Hedgerley Green
About our fish and chip van hire in Hedgerley 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. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and visits to care homes and day centres, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In a hamlet or village like Hedgerley Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Hedgerley Green, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Common questions in Hedgerley Green
How far is Hedgerley Green from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hedgerley Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Perfect for your event in Hedgerley Green
It needs no kitchen, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where plated meals are hard.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email

- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
