Fish and chip van hire for Northumberland Heath events
About our fish and chip van hire in Northumberland Heath
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for garden parties and summer get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening.
London streets around Northumberland Heath can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is typically simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Bringing the van to Northumberland Heath
Northumberland Heath is about 3 miles north-west of Dartford, in Greater London. Across the DA8 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Northumberland Heath to London (about 11 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like King Henry School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. A green space like Braeburn Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
We take the van to events all over the DA8 and DA7 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve an event on streets such as Mill Road, Penda Road and Chalk Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to events in Bexley Riverside (1 mile south-east), Erith (1 mile north), Barnehurst (1 mile south), Belvedere (1 mile north-west) and Lessness Heath (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (11 miles west), City of Westminster (14 miles west), Marylebone (14 miles west), St Pancras (13 miles west), Shoreditch (11 miles west) and Walthamstow (11 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Erith and District Hospital (under half a mile north) and Broadway Shopping Centre (1.5 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Crossness Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Northumberland Heath include Barnehurst Infant School (less than half a mile south-west) and Trinity School (0.9 miles north)
- Nearby, you will find The Royal Oak pub (within half a mile west)
- Local facilities include Colyers (under half a mile south-east)

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Common questions in Northumberland Heath
Can the van park in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
How we price a fish and chip van
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
