How our fish and chip van hire works in Home Farm
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and weddings, especially the evening, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Home Farm, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Home Farm is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
