Our fish and chip van hire in TN20

The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and typical bookings are for weddings, especially the evening and staff thank-you lunches.

The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Organising for someone else?

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in TN20? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans

It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.

Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

How we price a fish and chip van

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The length of service
  • Numbers
  • Parking and the way in
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Questions from TN20

Can you serve children?

Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
