Around Gordon Hill, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote.

Questions from Gordon Hill
Which station is closest to Gordon Hill?
Gordon Hill station, in Gordon Hill itself.
What about parking in Gordon Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins near the queue
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Gordon Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Gordon Hill 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
