Fish and chip van hire across RM3
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for big birthdays and community events and fairs.
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
What you will pay
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

- The address or venue name

For event organisers in RM3
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
