Fish and chip van hire for New Yatt events
About our fish and chip van hire in New Yatt
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We’re frequently asked to cater care home visits and work Christmas parties, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like New Yatt, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.

- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
