About our fish and chip van hire in Wealdstone
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. Whether it’s community events and fairs and weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips.
Streets in Wealdstone are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

FAQs for Wealdstone
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How does fish and chip van hire work?

Do you take everything away?

Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning the van’s spot

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
