How our fish and chip van hire works in Perry
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and school events and staff lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

FAQs for Perry
Is Perry too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Perry?
Adisham station, about 3.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Perry?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it is handed over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
