Fish and chip van for events for your event in Mill Hill
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. For feeding event crew and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook curry sauce, chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Events in Mill Hill range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer fêtes in Mill Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Mill Hill
What about parking in Mill Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Mill Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to Mill Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Mill Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
