If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Hill End
There is 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 pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and village fêtes and school fairs.
In a hamlet or village like Hill End, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Hill End
Can the van park in The Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hill End?
The closest is Rickmansworth station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Do you come to Hill End?
Yes, we do. Hill End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Hill End, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
