Fish and chip van hire for your event in Streat
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and milestone birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as Streat, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Common questions in Streat
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Streat?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Streat.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Streat, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
