About fish and chip van hire in N13
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and christmas parties.
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
What you will pay
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

About the food
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
