Fish and chip van hire for Clare Market events
Fish and chip van hire in Clare Market, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and care home visits.
In Clare Market, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Clare Market, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Clare Market questions
Can you serve after a service at Enon Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Clare Market?
London Charing Cross station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
