A chip van near Edgware Bury

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Hot food handed straight over

Fish and chip van hire in Edgware Bury, fried fresh

A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Edgware Bury. Whether it is fish and chip days at care homes and company team days, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.

London streets around Edgware Bury 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 picture of the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What a fish and chip van costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The date and time of year

  • How far we travel

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is

It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Questions from Edgware Bury

Is parking a problem for the van in Edgware Bury?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Which station is closest to Edgware Bury?

Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Do you take everything away?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

How long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Can the van come to Edgware Bury?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Edgware Bury and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Occasions we serve in Edgware Bury

There’s no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Edgware Bury book the van for occasions like:

  • Christmas parties
  • Wakes and celebrations of life
  • Summer garden parties
