How our fish and chip van hire works in Punnett's Town
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Typical bookings include care home visits and festive get-togethers, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a rural place like Punnett's Town, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Punnett's Town, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Common questions in Punnett's Town
What’s the nearest station to Punnett's Town?
Stonegate station, about 4.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Punnett's Town too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Punnett's Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Punnett's Town is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
