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 nothing sits waiting in a tray. Typical bookings include wakes and gatherings after a funeral and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Somewhere like Rowsham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Rowsham: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can the van come to Rowsham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Rowsham. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
