Book the van in Strawberry Hill
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Light matters for evening service: around Strawberry Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Strawberry Hill
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, with curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
Around Strawberry Hill, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

FAQs for Strawberry Hill
Could you trade in Marble Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Strawberry Hill?
Strawberry Hill has its own station: Strawberry Hill station.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

- Community events and fairs
Among the historic houses close to Strawberry Hill are Strawberry Hill House (within half a mile south-west) and Richmond House (0.6 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for each item
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Whether there is a minimum
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Looking after everyone

- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Fewer choices mean faster service

How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
