Fish and chip van hire in Worth, cooked to order
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and community events and fairs, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In and around Worth, homes and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Worth questions
Which station is closest to Worth?
The closest is Three Bridges station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Nicholas' Church?
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. Send us the address.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Worth? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Worth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
