About our fish and chip van hire in Millbridge
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthday parties and festive get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Millbridge, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

If you want something everyone will enjoy, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat for your event in Millbridge. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Millbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
