Fish and chip van hire in Kingston Stert, cooked to order

There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthday parties and weddings, especially the evening, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.

In a hamlet or village like Kingston Stert, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
