Fish and chip van hire in Honor Oak, cooked to order

In Honor Oak, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

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 Honor Oak, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Before you choose a spot

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

- Events in Honor Oak and across Greater London
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
