Fish and chip van hire for Wigginton events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

About our fish and chip van hire in Wigginton
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For care home visits and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Wigginton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Light matters for evening service: around Wigginton, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

Questions from Wigginton
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint Giles: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Wigginton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
