Fresh fish and chips in North Looe
How our fish and chip van hire works in North Looe
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and summer garden parties.
Somewhere like North Looe, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in North Looe
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Priest Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.

What else we do in North Looe
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Why choose a fish and chip van in North Looe?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
