Fresh fish and chips in Wisborough Green
How our fish and chip van hire works in Wisborough Green
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and school events and birthday celebrations, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In a small place like Wisborough Green, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Wisborough Green
Is Wisborough Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wisborough Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
