How our fish and chip van hire works in Coombe
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Coombe. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and gatherings after a funeral.
From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Coombe come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

What’s the nearest station to Coombe?

What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Coombe.
Can the van park on grass?
