Fish and chip van for events for your event in Hatch End

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What affects the price in Hatch End
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Hatch End

What about parking in Hatch End?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you fry it on site?

Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, Hatch End 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
