Fish and chip van hire in Wallcrouch, cooked to order
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include festive get-togethers and company team days, serving curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips.
Somewhere like Wallcrouch, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Wallcrouch until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Diets, allergies and planning
