Fish and chip van hire in Peters Village
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evenings in Peters Village stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
