Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. There is 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.

Hangleton questions
Is Hangleton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hangleton from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, it is light in Hangleton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
