How our fish and chip van hire works in Nine Elms
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Whether it’s weddings, especially the evening and milestone birthday parties, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy and more.
Streets in Nine Elms are frequently tight, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in Nine Elms, and we will check the date and send a price.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
