About our fish and chip van hire in Netherne on-the-Hill

Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Whether it is wakes and gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Around Netherne on-the-Hill, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

The process

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Netherne on-the-Hill is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
