Fish and chip van hire in Piddington, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthday parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
In a rural place like Piddington, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

What affects the price in Piddington
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Piddington, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
