Fish and chip van hire for your event in Swaile's Green
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and birthday celebrations, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Swaile's Green, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- A short menu helps everyone
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. By late September, sunset in Swaile's Green is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
