North Sheen questions
Could you trade in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Sheen?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Fish and chip van hire in North Sheen, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and company team days.
In a London neighbourhood like North Sheen, the van normally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. 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. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What affects the price in North Sheen
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Events in North Sheen and across Greater London
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Evenings in North Sheen 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, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
