Our fish and chip van hire in RH4
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and community events and fairs, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
What it costs in RH4
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

RH4 questions
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve 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.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
