Fish and chip van hire in Blackheath
Fish and chip van hire in Blackheath, cooked to order
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and gatherings after a funeral, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Around Blackheath, 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

FAQs for Blackheath
Is parking a problem for the van in Blackheath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Who books fish and chip van hire in Blackheath?
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
Blackheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan bins near the queue
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
A short menu keeps service quick.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Blackheath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
