Fish and chip van hire in Wallend
Fish and chip van hire in Wallend, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Wallend, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light matters for evening service: in Wallend, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

FAQs for Wallend
Is Wallend too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Wallend?
Sheerness-On-Sea station, about 2.6 miles east of the centre.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What do we need to supply?

Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Should I sort the food myself?

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.
