What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Lighting for early or late service
As a London location, Hounslow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Hounslow is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Agree how the base is left
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Plan bins at the unit base.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
