Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
About our fish and chip van hire in Cassington
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and evening wedding food.
In a hamlet or village like Cassington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
