Fish and chip van hire in Westbourne Green, fried fresh
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We’re frequently asked to cater festive get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Around Westbourne Green, 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. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Westbourne Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light matters for evening service: around Westbourne Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
