Fish and chip van hire in Mildmay, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Mildmay. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
Streets in Mildmay are often tight, so a drive, yard or car park is typically simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Mildmay? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Put allergy details in writing
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Mildmay until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Questions from Mildmay
Could you trade in Highbury Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Jude and St Paul?
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 come to Mildmay?
Yes, we do. Mildmay is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens 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 when you are ready to eat.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
