Fish and chip van hire in West Heath, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and staff lunches and team days.
London streets around West Heath can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Where the van can park in West Heath
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
West Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What else we do in West Heath
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Bringing the van to West Heath
West Heath is about 1 mile north-east of Welling, in Greater London. Events in West Heath are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. West Heath is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from West Heath to London (about 10 miles away).

We can serve an event on streets such as Hurst Lane, Hadlow Road and Denton Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in West Heath
Is parking a problem for the van in West Heath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to West Heath?
Yes, we do. West Heath is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
