Fish and chip van hire in Beam Park, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We are often asked to cater community events and fairs and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
London streets around Beam Park can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Late September evenings in Beam Park lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
