About our fish and chip van hire in North Waltham
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater company team days and big birthdays.
Somewhere like North Waltham, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

North Waltham questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Michael's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is North Waltham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Count children separately
- Put allergy details in writing
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Planning an evening event in North Waltham? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- 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 way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
