Fish and chip van hire in Little London, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Whether it is staff lunches and team days and community events and fairs, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Little London, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Late September evenings in Little London lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
