Fish and chip van hire in Woolton Hill
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and evening wedding food, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
A short menu keeps service quick.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
