A chip van near Underling Green
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Underling Green until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Count children separately
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
