How our fish and chip van hire works in Hurlingham
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it’s company team days and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
London streets around Hurlingham can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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’s fried on the spot.
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. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why book our van in Hurlingham
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
Hurlingham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What about parking in Hurlingham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Do we need to provide anything?

Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
