Your questions about a fish and chip van in Hanworth
Could you trade in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Richard's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van come to Hanworth?
We do. We serve events in Hanworth and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hanworth.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Perfect for your event in Hanworth
It needs no kitchen, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where other catering struggles.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Festive get-togethers
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Care home visits
PTAs at schools such as Buckingham Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
What your quote should include
- Any minimum charge
- The deposit and payment dates
- How many hours the van serves
- What they can offer for dietary needs
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Hanworth 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Hanworth, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
