Fish and chip van hire for Mud Row events
Common questions in Mud Row
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Mud Row too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Send allergies to us in writing
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event in Mud Row. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Mud Row, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- 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.

- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
