Our fish and chip van hire in RG27

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and village fêtes and school fairs.

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
  3. On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
  4. Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
  5. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

What it costs in RG27

Chip van hire across RG27

Across RG27, we serve 3 towns and 32 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hook, Hartley Wintney and Chineham to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Hook: For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St John the Evangelist, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like Hook Junior School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Light matters for evening service: around Hook, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

What a fish and chip van costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking
  • Access and parking

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • The date and time of the event
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in RG27

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.

Which fish do you use?

Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
