Our fish and chip van hire in GU30

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and community events and fairs, with gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

What you’ll pay

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Count children separately

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

Occasions we serve in GU30

It is ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, where people can wander up when they’re ready.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In GU30, people book us for occasions like:

  • Birthday celebrations
  • Visits to care homes and day centres
  • Village fêtes and school fairs
  • Garden get-togethers

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Common questions in GU30

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
