Fish and chip van hire for Nackington events
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Nackington
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and school events, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a rural place like Nackington, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan bins near the queue
- Fewer choices mean faster service
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Nackington, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
