About our fish and chip van hire in Hucking
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and summer garden parties.
In a small place like Hucking, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go

What comes out of the fryer

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Hucking hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your guests already know
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light matters for evening service: around Hucking, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Hucking
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Hucking from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
For event organisers in Hucking
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
