Fish and chip van hire for your event in Norton Ash
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and weddings, especially the evening, with mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Norton Ash, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evenings in Norton Ash stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
