Rush Green questions
What about parking in Rush Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Augustine of Canterbury Church: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Rush Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Fish and chip van hire in Rush Green, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and weddings, especially the evening.
London streets around Rush 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. Tell us what you have. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Rush Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Late September evenings in Rush Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A quote that spells everything out
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
