Fresh fish and chips in Shooter's Hill
How our fish and chip van hire works in Shooter's Hill
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We are often asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and company team days, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a London neighbourhood like Shooter's Hill, the van normally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Evenings in Shooter's Hill stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Shooter's Hill questions
Can the van park in Eaglesfield Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Shooter's Hill?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What affects the price in Shooter's Hill
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking

Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
