DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Chiswick
Which station is closest to Chiswick?
Chiswick station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Chiswick?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cover Chiswick?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chiswick and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Chiswick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.
On the menu in Chiswick

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The deadline for final numbers
- Whether there’s a minimum
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Around midsummer it stays light in Chiswick until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
