About our fish and chip van hire in Seething Wells
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For Fêtes, fairs and school events and festive get-togethers, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Around Seething Wells, 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Seething Wells: your questions answered
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Seething Wells has its own station: Surbiton station.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.

How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Seething Wells is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Seething Wells, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
