Fish and chip van hire in Plashet, cooked to order
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive get-togethers and big birthdays.
Streets in Plashet are frequently tight, so a drive, yard or car park is typically simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evenings in Plashet stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What affects the price in Plashet
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Organising a club, school or community event in Plashet? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Bookings across Greater London, including Plashet

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Plashet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Plashet
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Plashet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
