Fish and chip van hire for Fitzrovia events
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Fitzrovia
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. For village fêtes and school fairs and birthday celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Fitzrovia, the van usually parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
