Fish and chip van hire in Lambeth, fried fresh
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For christmas parties and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
London streets around Lambeth can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For food that suits almost everyone, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
