Fish and chip van hire for Nash Street events
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Nash Street, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
