Fish and chip van hire in Moreton, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Moreton, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

FAQs for Moreton
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Moreton.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
