Fish and chip van hire in Skittle Green, fried fresh
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. For staff lunches and team days and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
In a rural place like Skittle Green, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
