Fish and chip van hire for your event in Shover's Green
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include care home visits and birthday celebrations, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Somewhere like Shover's Green, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Shover's Green questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Shover's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you 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 picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cover Shover's Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Shover's Green. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
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.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light matters for evening service: around Shover's Green, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
