Fish and chip van hire for Queensbury events
Queensbury questions
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Queensbury?
The closest is Kenton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Queensbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
