About our fish and chip van hire in The City
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For staff lunches and team days and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like The City, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evenings in The City stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
