How our fish and chip van hire works in Milton Hill

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. For garden get-togethers and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.

Somewhere as small as Milton Hill, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

  • The menu and how many choices

The process

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Milton Hill is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies

How to get a price

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What you get with us

  • No kitchen needed
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Events in Milton Hill and across Oxfordshire

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

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 nobody has to miss the event.

Questions from Milton Hill

Is Milton Hill close to London?

About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you come out to small places like Milton Hill?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Is it a full meal?

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
