Fish and chip van hire in Gallows Corner
How our fish and chip van hire works in Gallows Corner
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers.
In Gallows Corner, 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Gallows Corner questions
Could you trade in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Gallows Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
Gallows Corner is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Gallows Corner. In Gallows Corner, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
