Our fish and chip van hire in IG2
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and evening wedding food.
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Fish and chip van hire in IG2: local guide
Across IG2, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Ilford, Newbury Park and Gants Hill or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Newbury Park: If you had Valentines Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Historic houses near Newbury Park include Valentines Mansion (0.9 miles west) and Eastbury Manor House (3 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Planning an evening event in Newbury Park? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 usually the easier option.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in IG2? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers

- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Questions from IG2
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
