Our fish and chip van hire in EN9
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
What you will pay
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why hosts in EN9 choose us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your guests already know

A fish and chip van across EN9: what to know
EN9 covers everything from Enfield Island Village to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Enfield Island Village: Churches such as Ss Peter and Paul Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. If you had Gunpowder Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Enfield Island Village, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
A chip van compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
