Fish and chip van hire in Northmoor
Fish and chip van hire in Northmoor, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and staff lunches and team days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a hamlet or village like Northmoor, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning for dietary needs

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

What affects the price in Northmoor
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
There’s 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.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Northmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
