How our fish and chip van hire works in Kingston Bagpuize
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Typical bookings include christmas parties and staff lunches and team days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
For a place the size of Kingston Bagpuize, your own drive is often the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Let us know how the van reaches the house. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Kingston Bagpuize
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Kingston Bagpuize close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Late September evenings in Kingston Bagpuize lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
