Who books fish and chip van hire in Harmondsworth?

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Evening wedding food
- Company team days
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Big birthdays

- The deadline for final numbers
- A clear list of what’s included
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Confirm allergies by email
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
