About our fish and chip van hire in Sunnymeads
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. For wakes and gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Sunnymeads, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Sunnymeads: your questions answered

The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Sunnymeads. In Sunnymeads, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
