About our fish and chip van hire in Walton Manor
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it is fish and chip days at care homes and weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
A place like Walton Manor frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Walton Manor, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
A short menu keeps service quick.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
