Fish and chip van hire for Belvedere events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Belvedere
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and fish and chip days at care homes.
Around Belvedere, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Belvedere
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Belvedere?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.
Can the van come to Belvedere?
We do. Belvedere is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Belvedere is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Belvedere? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evenings in Belvedere stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
