Fish and chip van hire for your event in Soldridge
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re often asked to cater christmas parties and garden get-togethers, with pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Soldridge, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Late September evenings in Soldridge lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
