Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go

Fish and chip van hire in New Copse, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthday parties and fish and chip days at care homes.
Somewhere as small as New Copse, 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. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
