About our fish and chip van hire in Singlewell or Ifield
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For staff thank-you lunches and work Christmas parties, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
In a hamlet or village like Singlewell or Ifield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
