Fish and chip van hire in West Langdon, 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’ll suggest what suits your event. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and garden get-togethers.
In a hamlet or village like West Langdon, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Planning an evening event in West Langdon? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
