Fish and chip van hire in Muddles Green
How our fish and chip van hire works in Muddles Green
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Muddles Green. Whether it’s company team days and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Muddles Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
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. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Muddles Green hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

FAQs for Muddles Green
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church: can you come?
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. Send us the address.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
