Fresh fish and chips in Wick Hill

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Wick Hill

Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and fish and chip days at care homes.

In a smaller place like Wick Hill, a garden party with the van on the drive is often the simplest option: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how the van reaches the house. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Wick Hill: your questions answered

We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far is Wick Hill from London?

About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

What happens when we hire the van?

The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What a fish and chip van costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

How easy the site is to reach
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Service time
Your choice of menu

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

A photo of the parking spot
Your date and serving time
The address or venue name
Any dietary needs and allergies

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How the day works

Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Wick Hill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
