About our fish and chip van hire in Bandonhill
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Whether it’s visits to care homes and day centres and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Bandonhill, the van normally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Bandonhill
Can you serve after a service at Castlemead Court?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Bandonhill?
The closest is Waddon station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Evenings in Bandonhill stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Bandonhill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
