About our fish and chip van hire in North Street
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and work Christmas parties, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Somewhere like North Street, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light matters for evening service: in North Street, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
