Fish and chip van hire for your event in Maida Vale
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it’s wakes and celebrations of life and staff lunches and team days, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
In Maida Vale, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Maida Vale questions
Could you trade in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Maida Vale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you cover Maida Vale?
We do. We serve events in Maida Vale and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Maida Vale lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Maida Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
