Fish and chip van hire for your event in Monxton
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and evening receptions.
In a small place like Monxton, 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
