Fresh fish and chips in Holme Green
How our fish and chip van hire works in Holme Green
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and work Christmas parties, with mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
In a rural place like Holme Green, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Holme Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins near the queue
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

How much does a fish and chip van cost in Holme Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evenings in Holme Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
