Can fish and chips be the only food?

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

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Preston Bissett
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. We are frequently asked to cater staff lunches and team days and fish and chip days at care homes, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Preston Bissett, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Preston Bissett, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
