Fish and chip van hire in Golders Green
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Golders Green
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Whether it’s wakes and gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
Streets in Golders Green are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
