About our fish and chip van hire in Walter's Ash

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. We are frequently asked to cater staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

Somewhere like Walter's Ash, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Where the van would park
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • A short menu helps everyone

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
