How our fish and chip van hire works in Sutton Wick
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it is visits to care homes and day centres and christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
In a small place like Sutton Wick, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round
- Classic food your guests already know
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Put bins and napkins by the van
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Occasions we serve in Sutton Wick
It suits relaxed, sociable events, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.

If you had Albert Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
