Fresh fish and chips in Wendlebury
Fish and chip van hire in Wendlebury, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and big birthdays, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Wendlebury, 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, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Wendlebury questions
Is Wendlebury close to London?

Do you come out to small places like Wendlebury?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Light matters for evening service: in Wendlebury, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
