Fish and chip van hire in Alperton, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re frequently asked to cater staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Streets in Alperton are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose fish and chip van hire in Alperton?
People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and generous.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Summer garden parties
- Staff lunches and team days
- Weddings, especially the evening
Churches such as St James Church Alperton rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does.
What your quote should include
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- The van’s size and access needs
- When payment is due

FAQs for Alperton
Can you serve after a service at St James Church Alperton?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you cover Alperton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Alperton is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Alperton
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Alperton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
