About our fish and chip van hire in Tower Hill
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. For fish and chip days at care homes and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
In Tower Hill, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Tower Hill questions
Could you trade in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter ad Vincula?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
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 to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Where the van can park in Tower Hill
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Tower Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Around midsummer it stays light in Tower Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
