How our fish and chip van hire works in Knights Enham
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Knights Enham, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Knights Enham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

Preparing for the day
