Fish and chip van hire in Nob's Crook
About our fish and chip van hire in Nob's Crook
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For big birthdays and festive get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
In a rural place like Nob's Crook, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evenings in Nob's Crook stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

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. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
