A chip van near Connaught Village
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 normally simpler.
Fish and chip van hire in Connaught Village, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and garden get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
London streets around Connaught Village can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is typically simplest. Tell us what you have. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Connaught Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually 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.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
