Fish and chip van hire for Whitton events
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Whitton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Whitton
Can the van park in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Whitton?
Whitton has its own station: Whitton station.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
