Fish and chip van hire for your event in Earl's Court
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event. Whether it is wakes and celebrations of life and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In a London neighbourhood like Earl's Court, the van typically parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Earl's Court
We’re gathering after a service at St Cuthbert's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Do you come to Earl's Court?
We do. Earl's Court is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
