About our fish and chip van hire in Sibford Gower
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event in Sibford Gower. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and care home visits, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Sibford Gower, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Sibford Gower, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Sibford Gower
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
