Fish and chip van hire in Westcroft
How our fish and chip van hire works in Westcroft
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. For village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy and more.
In and around Westcroft, homes and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count children separately
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How we price a fish and chip van
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
