Fresh fish and chips in Partridge Green

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Partridge Green

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. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

For a rural spot like Partridge Green, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us how many children are coming

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Planning an evening event in Partridge Green? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Partridge Green questions

Do you come out to small places like Partridge Green?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Cod or haddock?

We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
