Fish and chip van hire in Niton, fried fresh

There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For milestone birthday parties and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.

Somewhere as small as Niton, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
