Fish and chip van hire in Force Green, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. For fish and chip days at care homes and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
London streets around Force Green 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. Tell us what you have. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Force Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Force Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Force Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evenings in Force Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
