About our fish and chip van hire in Nately Scures
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Nately Scures, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Nately Scures
Do you come out to small places like Nately Scures?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
