Fresh fish and chips in Bulphan
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Bulphan
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for big birthdays and company team days.
Around Bulphan, 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 tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Bulphan

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party

As a London location, Bulphan is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
