Fish and chip van hire for Row Town events
Fish and chip van hire in Row Town, cooked to order
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For festive get-togethers and care home visits, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Around Row Town, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Row Town questions
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Row Town from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Row Town.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.

For event organisers in Row Town

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Row Town, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
