A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your guests already know
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

How our fish and chip van hire works in Lampton
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and work Christmas parties, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Lampton, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

- VAT, if it applies
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How many hours the van serves
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Lampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in Lampton
We are gathering after a service at St Luke: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Lampton?
Hounslow station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lampton.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van come to Lampton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Lampton and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
