About our fish and chip van hire in Forty Hill
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and work Christmas parties, with pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
London streets around Forty Hill 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Forty Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

What else we do in Forty Hill
A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

For event organisers in Forty Hill
Organising a club, school or community event in Forty Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Where the van can park in Forty Hill
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Forty Hill 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Forty Hill
We are gathering after a service at Jesus Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Forty Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
