About fish and chip van hire in SL9
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for company team days and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
What it costs in SL9
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

A fish and chip van across SL9: what to know

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp.

- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Allergen information for each item
