Fish and chip van hire in Longwick, cooked to order
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
For a place the size of Longwick, your own drive is often the best spot: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Allergies and dietary needs

Questions from Longwick
Is Longwick close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Owlswick Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- How many people are eating
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Late September evenings in Longwick lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
