Fish and chip van hire in Tingrith, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it is garden parties and summer get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
For a rural spot like Tingrith, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Tingrith: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Tingrith from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Milton Keynes. Find your area.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often 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 work through them with you.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Tingrith, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Send allergies to us in writing

The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
