Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Pitchcott, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive

Fish and chip van hire in Pitchcott, fried fresh
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and staff lunches and team days.
In a small place like Pitchcott, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pitchcott?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Pitchcott? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

How far is Pitchcott from London?
About 42 miles from central London.

Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you bring everything you need?
