Fish and chip van hire for your event in Hyde Heath
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions in Hyde Heath. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and village fêtes and school fairs.
Somewhere like Hyde Heath, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Hyde Heath, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Hyde Heath
Do you come out to small places like Hyde Heath?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish church of Saint John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
