Fish and chip van hire in Mystole, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Mystole. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and staff lunches and team days, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Mystole, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Planning an evening event in Mystole? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Confirm allergies by email
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
