Fish and chip van hire in Stoke Lyne, cooked to order
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Stoke Lyne, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Stoke Lyne, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
