Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How our fish and chip van hire works in Town Row
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s weddings and evening receptions and fish and chip days at care homes, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Town Row, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Town Row stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Town Row
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Town Row close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
