If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Langton Green
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions in Langton Green. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
There may be a hall or club near Langton Green if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.

Langton Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Langton Green from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Langton Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
