Fish and chip van hire in Quelm Park, fried fresh
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and milestone birthday parties, serving mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
A place like Quelm Park frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. 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?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Light matters for evening service: in Quelm Park, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Questions from Quelm Park
Is Quelm Park close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm the menu.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
