Our fish and chip van hire in HP8

Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for company team days and village fêtes and school fairs.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.

Planning a chip van in HP8

From Little Chalfont, Chalfont St Giles and Amersham on the Hill to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across HP8 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Chalfont St Giles: Churches such as Parish Church of St Giles rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Chalfont St Giles Infant School and Nursery, can book the van as a food stall. Evenings in Chalfont St Giles stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

Room in front of the hatch for a queue
A route in without tight gates or low branches
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Christmas parties
Big birthdays
Gatherings after a funeral
Weddings, especially the evening

For event organisers in HP8

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Confirm allergies by email
Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

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.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

HP8 questions

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Can fish and chips be the only food?

It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
