Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why Lower Froyle hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Lower Froyle: your questions answered
Is Lower Froyle too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary of the Assumption: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
