Fish and chip van hire for your event in Overton
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We serve gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
For a place the size of Overton, your own drive is often the best spot: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Overton?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
