Fish and chip van hire in Belsize Park, cooked to order
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For fish and chip days at care homes and birthday celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Belsize Park, the van usually parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

FAQs for Belsize Park
What about parking in Belsize Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cover Belsize Park?
We do. Belsize Park is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Belsize Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Occasions we serve in Belsize Park
A fish and chip van suits almost any crowd, young and old alike. The queue at the hatch gets people talking.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Big birthdays
- Garden get-togethers
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
- Evening wedding food
Churches such as Church of St Mary the Virgin rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does.
What to look for in a quote
- Any minimum charge
- A clear list of what’s included
- When final numbers are due
- What they can offer for dietary needs
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Bringing the van to Belsize Park
Belsize Park is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the NW3 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Belsize Park is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Nearby historic houses include Keats House (0.8 miles north) and 2 Willow Road (0.9 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. Thinking of using Primrose Hill? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade.
Anywhere in NW3, NW5 and NW1, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Eton Road, Lawn Road and Ornan Road, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Belsize Park, we also cover Haverstock (1 mile north), Primrose Hill (1 mile south), South Hampstead (1 mile west), Swiss Cottage (1 mile west) and Chalk Farm (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south-west), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles east) and Whitechapel (4 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include O2 Centre (0.8 miles west) and Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead (within half a mile north). Within reach you will find Adelaide Nature Reserve and The Long Water.
- Nearby schools include St Paul's Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile south) and St. Mary's Town and Country School (under half a mile west)
- Pubs nearby include The Washington pub (within half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Cecil Sharp House (0.8 miles south-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Belsize Park, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
