Fish and chip van hire for Hammersmith events
Common questions in Hammersmith
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Brook Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Hammersmith
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and christmas parties, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
Around Hammersmith, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book our van in Hammersmith
- Bookings across Greater London, including Hammersmith
- Hot food handed straight over

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Late September evenings in Hammersmith lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Hammersmith 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Tell us how many children are coming
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

Planning a chip van in Hammersmith
Hammersmith is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London.

Hammersmith is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Hammersmith to London (6 miles away).
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of the Holy Innocents, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Coming by train? The closest railway station is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.8 miles east of the centre.

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Hammersmith?
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
In Hammersmith and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Care home visits
- Big birthdays
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral

For a fundraiser at a school like Earl's Court Free School Primary, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.
