A chip van near Seaton
Fish and chip van hire in Seaton, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Seaton. For village fêtes and school fairs and evening wedding food, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a rural place like Seaton, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Evenings in Seaton stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
