About our fish and chip van hire in St Johns
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around St Johns. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and visits to care homes and day centres, serving mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
In St Johns, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What about parking in St Johns?

Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in St Johns?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, St Johns is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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 usually simpler.
