Fish and chip van hire for Tillington events
Tillington questions
Is Tillington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Fish and chip van hire in Tillington, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater company team days and milestone birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as Tillington, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
