Fish and chip van hire for North Heath events
Fish and chip van hire in North Heath, fried fresh
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and festive get-togethers.
In a small place like North Heath, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

Light matters for evening service: around North Heath, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- 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.
