Fish and chip van hire in Vauxhall, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Vauxhall, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Around midsummer it stays light in Vauxhall until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
