A chip van near Pitshanger
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Fish and chip van hire in Pitshanger, fried fresh
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is staff lunches and team days and care home visits, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Pitshanger, the van usually parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.

Where the van can park in Pitshanger
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Pitshanger is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Light matters for evening service: in Pitshanger, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Pitshanger: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Pitshanger?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Castle Bar Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
