Fish and chip van hire in Ivybridge, cooked to order
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and summer garden parties.
Streets in Ivybridge are frequently tight, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Light matters for evening service: around Ivybridge, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Ivybridge
We’re gathering after a service at All Hallows Twickenham: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Ivybridge?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Ivybridge?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
