Planning an event in Roffey?
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Roffey
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We are frequently asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and garden get-togethers, with curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In a smaller place like Roffey, a garden party with the van on the drive is frequently the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Roffey?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 nobody has to miss the event.
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’s fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
A short menu keeps service quick.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
