Fish and chip van hire in North Aston

Fish and chip van hire for your event in North Aston

Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and staff lunches and team days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

Somewhere as small as North Aston, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

Travel, tolls and road charges
How many people are eating
The day of the week
Parking and the way in

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

What we need to know

Where the event is
A picture of where the van would go
Dietary needs, with numbers
Where you’d like the van to go

North Aston questions

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Which station is closest to North Aston?

The closest is Heyford station, roughly 2.7 miles away.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can you feed plenty of people?

That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Give us separate numbers for children
Confirm allergies by email
Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How the day works

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Planning an evening event in North Aston? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
