Fish and chip van hire in Snoll Hatch
How our fish and chip van hire works in Snoll Hatch
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers.
Somewhere like Snoll Hatch, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Planning an evening event in Snoll Hatch? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

For event organisers in Snoll Hatch
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
If you want something everyone will enjoy, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
