Fish and chip van hire in Greenhill, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Greenhill, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Greenhill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Greenhill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Greenhill.
Do you come to Greenhill?
We do. We serve events in Greenhill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Greenhill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A short menu keeps service quick.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
A closer look at 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.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Greenhill 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
If you want something everyone will enjoy, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
