North Leigh questions
What’s the nearest station to North Leigh?
Combe station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in North Leigh. Evening events need a little planning for light: in North Leigh, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in North Leigh?
It’s ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
