Fish and chip van hire in South Green, fried fresh
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For weddings and evening receptions and milestone birthday parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips and more.
Somewhere as small as South Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
