Fish and chip van hire in Putney, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We serve pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home visits and weddings, especially the evening.
London streets around Putney can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Common questions in Putney
Could you trade in Bishops Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Polish Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Putney is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
