Fish and chip van hire in Mottisfont, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Whether it’s milestone birthday parties and garden get-togethers, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
For a rural spot like Mottisfont, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Mottisfont questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you come?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Mottisfont from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
- 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
