Fish and chip van hire for Leamouth events
About our fish and chip van hire in Leamouth
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings after a funeral and work Christmas parties.
Streets in Leamouth are often tight, so a drive, yard or car park is normally simplest. Tell us what you have. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Leamouth: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Leamouth?
The closest is Custom House station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
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. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Leamouth 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’ll advise.
On the menu in Leamouth
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Leamouth, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
