Fish and chip van hire for your event in Coney Hall
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Whether it is visits to care homes and day centres and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
Streets in Coney Hall 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 picture of the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Coney Hall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

What else we do in Coney Hall
Coney Hall: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Coney Hall?
West Wickham station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Millers Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can the van come to Coney Hall?
We do. Coney Hall is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Coney Hall?
It is familiar, so nobody has to guess what they’re getting, which takes the worry out of feeding a mixed crowd.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Light matters for evening service: around Coney Hall, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
