Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How our fish and chip van hire works in New Charlton

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In New Charlton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally 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.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready

Bringing the van to New Charlton
New Charlton is about 2 miles north-east of Greenwich, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of New Charlton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from New Charlton to London (6 miles away).
A green space like Thames Barrier Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Within reach of New Charlton are historic houses such as Queen's House (1.8 miles west) and Eltham Palace (3 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early.

For events just outside New Charlton, we cover Charlton (1 mile south-east), Westcombe Park (1 mile south-west), Woolwich (1 mile east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-west) and Maze Hill (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, New Charlton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in New Charlton
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
