Common questions in Rayners Lane
Do you trade at school fairs around Rayners Lane?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is parking a problem for the van in Rayners Lane?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Rayners Lane?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in Rayners Lane lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

What else we do in Rayners Lane
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Tell us about the pitch
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree who removes waste
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A few benches near the van help.
Occasions we serve in Rayners Lane
It can feed crew and volunteers too.
