Fish and chip van hire in Kingston Blount

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Kingston Blount

There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For christmas parties and company team days, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.

Somewhere as small as Kingston Blount, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Questions from Kingston Blount

Which station is closest to Kingston Blount?

The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 4.2 miles away.

Is Kingston Blount 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.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

For planners, venues and organisers

Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why book our van in Kingston Blount

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Add an allergy question to your invitations
  • A short menu helps everyone
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.

Space, access and the venue

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to compare vans

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Step by step

Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Kingston Blount, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
