How our fish and chip van hire works in Mountfield
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and fish and chip days at care homes.
Somewhere like Mountfield, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Mountfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
