About our fish and chip van hire in Upper Chute

We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For Fêtes, fairs and school events and company team days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.

Somewhere like Upper Chute, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The process

There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. By late September, sunset in Upper Chute is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
  5. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
