About our fish and chip van hire in Upper Eddington
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and wakes and celebrations of life, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. By late September, sunset in Upper Eddington is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
