Fish and chip van hire across TN22
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and festive get-togethers.
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Pricing in TN22
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork.

TN22: your questions answered
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
- 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
