Fresh fish and chips in Priestwood Green
Fish and chip van hire in Priestwood Green, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for care home visits and company team days.
Somewhere like Priestwood Green, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Priestwood Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
