Fish and chip van hire in ME3: what to expect

The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We’re often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and garden get-togethers, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.

  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

A chip van compared with other options

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the event is cancelled or moved

FAQs for ME3

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Is it a full meal?

It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.

What happens when we hire the van?

We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.

What happens if it rains?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
