Questions from Holt Pound
Is Holt Pound too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Saint James: can you come?
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.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cover Holt Pound?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Holt Pound is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
About our party fish and chip van in Holt Pound
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We serve gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for kids’ birthday parties and garden get-togethers.
Country parties near Holt Pound suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Autumn and winter parties in Holt Pound get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
