Fish and chip van hire in Brixton, cooked to order
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it’s community events and fairs and weddings, especially the evening, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Streets in Brixton are often tight, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Tell us what you have. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Brixton
Which station is closest to Brixton?
Brixton station, in Brixton itself.
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you come to Brixton?
Yes, we do. Brixton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Brixton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Where the van can park in Brixton
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Brixton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
