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 a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

About our fish and chip van hire in Owlswick
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Owlswick. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and christmas parties.
In a hamlet or village like Owlswick, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
