Fish and chip van hire in West Farleigh, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and evening wedding food, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
Somewhere as small as West Farleigh, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Late September evenings in West Farleigh lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
