Fish and chip van hire for your event in Norbiton
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and staff thank-you lunches.
From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Norbiton come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put allergy details in writing
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Fish and chip van hire around Norbiton
Norbiton is about 3 miles west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Norbiton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Norbiton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Norbiton to London (about 10 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like St Paul's CofE Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. If you had Canbury Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

We also bring the van to events in Kingston upon Thames (1 mile west), Coombe (1 mile north-east), New Malden (1 mile south-east), Motspur Park (1 mile east) and Coombe Hill (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (10 miles north-east), City of Westminster (9 miles north-east), Marylebone (9 miles north-east), Kensington (7 miles north-east), St Pancras (11 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles north-east).

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Questions from Norbiton
Which station is closest to Norbiton?
Norbiton has its own station: Norbiton station.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you come to Norbiton?
Yes, we do. Norbiton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. By late September, sunset in Norbiton is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
