Fish and chip van hire for your event in West Green
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s wakes and gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthday parties, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a small place like West Green, 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. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in West Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

- The menu and how many choices

West Green questions
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evenings in West Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
