Fish and chip van hire in Mapesbury
How our fish and chip van hire works in Mapesbury
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and christmas parties.
Streets in Mapesbury are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evenings in Mapesbury stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Mapesbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
