Questions from Hanger Hill
Do you trade at school fairs around Hanger Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Ealing Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you come to Hanger Hill?
We do. Hanger Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Hanger Hill?

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Hanger Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Details of any power or water on site
- Confirmation the van can trade there
As a London location, Hanger Hill 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Perfect for your event in Hanger Hill
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, which matters at outdoor events.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Summer fairs
- Community festivals
