Fish and chip van hire in Holloway Down, cooked to order
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. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches, serving gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Around Holloway Down, 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Fewer choices mean faster service
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Around midsummer it stays light in Holloway Down until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
