Fish and chip van hire for your event in Hampton
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. For weddings and evening receptions and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
London streets around Hampton can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- Something for guests to gather round
- Events in Hampton and across Greater London
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Questions from Hampton
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Hampton: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Carlisle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Hampton 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bringing the van to Hampton
Hampton is about 2 miles south-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. Bookings in Hampton come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Hampton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 13 miles away.

Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Hampton, 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
