Fish and chip van hire in Earlsfield, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater festive get-togethers and village fêtes and school fairs, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy.
London streets around Earlsfield can be narrow and lined with parked cars, 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.

A chip van compared with other options
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put allergy details in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light matters for evening service: in Earlsfield, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Is parking a problem for the van in Earlsfield?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Earlsfield 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’ll advise.
