How our fish and chip van hire works in Paley Street
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater company team days and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Somewhere like Paley Street, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Light matters for evening service: in Paley Street, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
