BBQsAbout The Hungry Plaice
Step right up and get ready to indulge your taste buds at The Hungry Plaice, an award-winning gem that has dazzled the judges as a UK Finalist Mobile Operator at The National Fish & Chip Awards for 2024! Picture this: two utterly unique, super cool retro vintage 1980s Mark 2 Ford Transit Vans that are truly one-of-a-kind on this planet. Our beloved van, Betty, isn’t just any food truck—she’s a legendary fish and chip van with roots stretching back to the vibrant 1980s and 1990s, making her one of the oldest fish and chip vans still cruising the streets today!
From the charming interiors of our classic vans, we serve up PROPER fish and chips that will transport you straight to your favorite local chippy. Our fish is hand-battered fresh before frying; we never settle for pre-battered frozen options like some others might. Yes, you’ll pay a little more, but what you receive in return is top-notch quality paired with an unforgettable experience from vans you simply won’t find anywhere else.
The Hungry Plaice guarantees a seamless, professional catering service for your event—regardless of how many guests you’re hosting! And wait, there's more! We also offer a delightful Vintage Ice Cream Van that's environmentally friendly; it features an electric-powered machine to keep your gathering sustainable. From this charming ice cream haven, we whip up delicious Whippy and scoop ice cream cornettes and trays, lollies galore, and mouthwatering desserts like waffles, crepes, bubble waffles, waffle pops, mini doughnuts, ice cream sundaes—and even popcorn and candy floss! Plus, don't miss our sweet cart and machine hires for hot dogs and nachos!
With pride in our level 5 Food Hygiene Rating and membership in NCASS, comprehensive public and product insurance coverage of £10 million—not to mention Level 2 Food Safety Training—we ensure safety from start to finish. We’ve got all bases covered including thorough risk assessments.
