Fresh fish and chips in Street End
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Street End
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are often asked to cater birthday celebrations and care home visits, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Street End, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What else we do in Street End
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Street End, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
