Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Hinxhill
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday celebrations and staff thank-you lunches, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Hinxhill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
