About our fish and chip van hire in Turnfurlong
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for visits to care homes and day centres and birthday celebrations.
For a place the size of Turnfurlong, your own drive is often the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
- 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
