Fish and chip van hire for Lower Eashing events
Fish and chip van hire in Lower Eashing, fried fresh
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and staff lunches and team days.
In a rural place like Lower Eashing, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Lower Eashing, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

Lower Eashing questions
Is Lower Eashing close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Middlebriars Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lower Eashing.
What if the weather’s bad?

The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
