Fish and chip van hire for your event in Heyshott
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and festive get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Heyshott, 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Around midsummer it stays light in Heyshott until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
