About our fish and chip van hire in Tuesley
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it is community events and fairs and fish and chip days at care homes, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Tuesley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Tuesley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
