How our fish and chip van hire works in Radclive
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Radclive, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What the van needs

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

Radclive: your questions answered
Is Radclive too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What affects the price in Radclive
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Radclive?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before booking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
