About our fish and chip van hire in Risinghurst
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and care home visits.
A place like Risinghurst often has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count children separately
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Risinghurst, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
