- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Who books fish and chip van hire in Sewardstonebury?

If you are planning any of these, we can help:

- Care home visits
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Wakes and celebrations of life
If you had Lee Valley Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
