How our fish and chip van hire works in Upton Park
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Upton Park. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and festive get-togethers.
London streets around Upton Park can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Tell us what you have. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Occasions we serve in Upton Park
A fish and chip van suits almost any crowd, young and old alike. It also gives people something to queue and chat over.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Evening wedding food
- Garden get-togethers
- Community events and fairs
- Christmas parties
For a fundraiser at a school like St Edward's Catholic Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.
