Fish and chip van hire in Northney, fried fresh
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. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for community events and fairs and festive get-togethers.
In a hamlet or village like Northney, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.

How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Northney, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
