Fish and chip van hire in College Park, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it is wakes and gatherings after a funeral and company team days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Streets in College Park are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a photo of the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in College Park
Is parking a problem for the van in College Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Late September evenings in College Park lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, College Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
