Fish and chip van hire for Rowley Green events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Rowley Green
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Whether it is fish and chip days at care homes and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
London streets around Rowley Green 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. Send us a photo of the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Rowley Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Rowley Green: your questions answered
What about parking in Rowley Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Barnet Gate Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
- 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
