How our fish and chip van hire works in Grange Mills

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Grange Mills questions
Can you serve after a service at MCC South London?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in Grange Mills?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Evenings in Grange Mills 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
