How our fish and chip van hire works in Middlegreen
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and wakes and celebrations of life, with cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In a small place like Middlegreen, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Late September evenings in Middlegreen lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
