How fish and chip van hire works in SL0
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We are often asked to cater community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Cost
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Iver Heath: PTAs at schools such as Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Coming by train? Iver station is about 2.1 miles away. Around midsummer it stays light in Iver Heath until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in SL0
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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 about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
