Fish and chip van hire for your event in Greengate
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Greengate. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and birthday celebrations.
In Greengate, 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. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Greengate stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
For event organisers in Greengate
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Greengate? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Greengate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
