A chip van near Ickenham
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Ickenham
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Whether it’s summer garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and school events, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Streets in Ickenham are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Ickenham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Ickenham
Could you trade in Church Field Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Ickenham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to Ickenham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Ickenham is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
