Fish and chip van hire in Up Nately, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and milestone birthday parties.
In a hamlet or village like Up Nately, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

How much does a fish and chip van cost in Up Nately?

Can you cater for allergies?

Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
