- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Maynard's Green
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and festive get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Maynard's Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Maynard's Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
