About our fish and chip van hire in Sipson

The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Whether it is village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.

London streets around Sipson 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. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What happens on the day

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Around midsummer it stays light in Sipson until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A short walk from the party

Sipson is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Sipson

Can the van park in Lake Farm Country Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What about parking in Sipson?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Can fish and chips be the only food?

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.

Is grass a problem?

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you cover Sipson?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Sipson and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Count children separately
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch

It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

For event organisers in Sipson

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
