Fresh fish and chips in Upper Halliford
Fish and chip van hire in Upper Halliford, fried fresh
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and garden get-togethers, serving curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Upper Halliford, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Where the van can park in Upper Halliford
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Questions from Upper Halliford
How far is Upper Halliford from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Upper Halliford?
The closest is Upper Halliford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Upper Halliford?
