Chip van hire across ME11
From Queenborough and Rushenden to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across ME11 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Queenborough: PTAs at schools such as Queenborough School and Nursery frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Churches such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. By late September, sunset in Queenborough is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Working with your venue
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.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
ME11 questions
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in ME11?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
