Fish and chip van hire in RM2: what to expect

Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. Typical bookings include weddings, especially the evening and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce.

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

A fish and chip van across RM2: what to know

From Romford, Gallows Corner and Heath Park to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across RM2 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Ardleigh Green: PTAs at schools such as Ardleigh Green Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Historic houses near Ardleigh Green include Hare Hall (less than half a mile north-west) and Rainham Hall (4.7 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Ardleigh Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

What a fish and chip van costs

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

  • The menu and how many choices
  • Service time

Questions from RM2

How do you handle allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Is it a full meal?

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
