Fish and chip van hire for your event in Nursted
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and weddings and evening receptions.
In a rural place like Nursted, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Planning for dietary needs

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Around midsummer it stays light in Nursted until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.

Preparing for the day
