Fish and chip van hire in Poundon, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Whether it is work Christmas parties and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Poundon, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Poundon?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
