How fish and chip van hire works in HP22
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches.
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Cost
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Count children separately
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Common questions in HP22
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
