Fish and chip van hire for your event in Streatley
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and festive get-togethers, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Streatley, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Streatley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
For event organisers in Streatley
Organising a club, school or community event in Streatley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
