Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and evening wedding food, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Eel Pie Island, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

FAQs for Eel Pie Island
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Eel Pie Island is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
