Fresh fish and chips in Roxbourne
Fish and chip van hire in Roxbourne, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We are often asked to cater visits to care homes and day centres and festive get-togethers, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Around Roxbourne, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Roxbourne questions
Can you serve after a service at St. Andrew’s Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Roxbourne?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Perfect for your event in Roxbourne
People book a chip van because it is food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and generous.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Summer garden parties
- Milestone birthday parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as The Moriah Jewish Day School, can book the van as a food stall.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Late September evenings in Roxbourne lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan bins near the queue
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
Roxbourne is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
