Fish and Chip Van Hire – The UK’s leading mobile fish & chips

Why Fish and Chip Van Hire Makes Any Event Unforgettable

There’s something genuinely special about the smell of freshly cooked fish and chips at an event. It draws people in, sparks conversation, and puts smiles on faces before anyone’s even taken their first bite. At KK Catering, our fish and chip van hire service brings that iconic British experience straight to your event. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate party or private celebration, everything is served piping hot, with a smile.

As the UK’s leading fish and chips van hire service, we’ve been perfecting our craft since 2005. In that time, we’ve delivered a proper fish and chips van experience at events of every size. From intimate garden parties to large-scale corporate functions, our team arrives, sets up, and gets cooking. That way, you can concentrate on enjoying your event.

Eye-Catching Fish and Chip Vans That Become Part of Your Event

Our immaculately presented fish & chip vans for hire don’t just serve great food — they become a talking point at your event. Our vans are polished, eye-catching, and a world away from a tired canteen trolley. They create a real buzz the moment they arrive. Guests gravitate towards the live cooking action. That interactive element adds energy and excitement that a buffet table simply can’t replicate.

Planning a rustic outdoor wedding? Hosting a corporate summer party? Celebrating a milestone birthday? Either way, our fish and chip van fits the occasion perfectly. The aroma of fresh batter and hot chips drifting across your venue is an experience in itself. In fact, it’s one your guests will talk about long after the event is over.

Can a Fish and Chip Van Really Feed All My Guests? Absolutely.

One of the most common questions we hear is whether a fish and chip van can feed a large crowd efficiently. The short answer is yes. In fact, we’ve been doing it successfully at events of 50 to 500+ guests for over 20 years.

Our experienced chefs maintain a fast, consistent service flow. As a result, every guest receives their food hot and fresh — never lukewarm leftovers.

We work with you in advance to plan the serving schedule around your event timeline. For example, we can run a continuous service window, a set serving time, or a late-night food station after the dancing starts.

And while fish and chips might feel like casual food, it’s a genuinely hearty, satisfying meal. A portion of golden-battered cod with chunky chips and sides is a proper, filling feast. Moreover, it costs a fraction of a formal sit-down dinner. Couples regularly tell us their wedding guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had.

Our Fish and Chip Van Menu – Something for Everyone

Our menu is built around the classic British chippy experience, with a range of options to ensure every guest is catered for. The star of the show is always our delicious battered cod. Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and flaky inside, it’s served with our trademark chunky chips. But we know variety matters at events, so we’ve put together a full menu to keep every guest happy.

Classic sides and sauces: Curry sauce, gravy, chip shop mushy peas — all the authentic accompaniments that make a proper chippy experience complete.

Every item is freshly cooked on the van throughout service. So nothing ever sits under heat lamps going cold. What your guests receive is as tasty and hot as if they’d just walked into a proper chip shop — because in every sense, they have.
