Fish and chip van hire in Woldingham, fried fresh
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For birthday celebrations and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
For a rural spot like Woldingham, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. In Woldingham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
