A chip van near Bexley
Fish and chip van hire in Bexley, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for staff lunches and team days and milestone birthday parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Bexley, the van generally 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. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Bexley, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- 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 arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bexley
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Bexley station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Bexley
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Bexley 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
