How our fish and chip van hire works in Coombe Hill
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and big birthdays, with gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Streets in Coombe Hill 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Coombe Hill hosts choose us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Classic food your guests already know
- A van that becomes part of the event

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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Coombe Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
