A chip van near North Street
How our fish and chip van hire works in North Street
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around North Street. We are frequently asked to cater milestone birthday parties and wakes and celebrations of life, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Somewhere like North Street, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- A short menu helps everyone
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Late September evenings in North Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Why choose a fish and chip van in North Street?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
