Fish and chip van hire in GU32: what to expect

Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and fish and chip days at care homes.

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat.

You share your date, numbers and address.
We check the route in and send a price.
We arrive in good time to set up.
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.

What the van needs

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

Confirmation that the van can park there
Space for people to queue at the hatch
A spot near your guests

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Count children separately
Put bins and napkins by the van
Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet

A short menu keeps service quick.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Questions from GU32

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Does a chip van work for big events?

Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Do you do anything other than fish?
