Fish and chip van hire in Three Leg Cross, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. On the menu are pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for festive get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
In a hamlet or village like Three Leg Cross, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
