What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Streatham Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Fish and chip van hire in Streatham Hill, cooked to order

Around Streatham Hill, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls.

What else we do in Streatham Hill
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Streatham Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Fish and chip van hire around Streatham Hill
Streatham Hill is about 2 miles south of Stockwell, in Greater London. For events in Streatham Hill, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A green space like Streatham Common is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Christ Church, can book the van as a food stall.
For events in SW2, SW16 and SW12, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins near the queue
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Streatham Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
