About our fish and chip van hire in Homerton
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. For birthday celebrations and christmas parties, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips and more.
Streets in Homerton are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
