Single Street questions
Which station is closest to Single Street?
Chelsfield station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Single Street?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Single Street?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Single Street and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Single Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Single Street

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Plan your Christmas party in Single Street around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
