Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
About our fish and chip van hire in Hinton Waldrist
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. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and birthday celebrations.
In a hamlet or village like Hinton Waldrist, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- How long we serve

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light matters for evening service: in Hinton Waldrist, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
