Fish and chip van hire in Hundridge, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
In a small place like Hundridge, 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, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Hundridge until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Is Hundridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
