Fish and chip van hire in Pinner Green, cooked to order
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. For staff thank-you lunches and garden get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
London streets around Pinner Green can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is normally simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Pinner Green, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Pinner Green
What’s the nearest station to Pinner Green?
The closest is Hatch End station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Christian Science Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Space, access and the venue

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Pinner Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. The cost per head normally 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.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- We cover Pinner Green and the whole of Greater London
