Fish and chip van hire in Palestine
How our fish and chip van hire works in Palestine
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. Typical bookings include christmas parties and wakes and celebrations of life, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a rural place like Palestine, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book our van in Palestine
- Something for guests to gather round
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
