Fish and chip van hire in KT23: what to expect
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and company team days, serving pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Questions from KT23
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including KT23.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
