Fish and chip van hire for Yiewsley events
Bringing the van to Yiewsley
Yiewsley is about 2 miles north-east of Hayes, in Greater London. Events in Yiewsley are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Yiewsley is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Yiewsley to London (13 miles away).
For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is Southall station, about 1.8 miles south. A green space like Northala Fields is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
For events in UB5, UB4 and UB1, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Owen Road, Friar Road and Maple Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Other places close to Yiewsley we cover include Yeading (1 mile north), Dormers Wells (2 miles south-east), Northolt (2 miles north-east), Southall (2 miles south) and South Ruislip (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (13 miles east), City of Westminster (10 miles east), Marylebone (11 miles east), Kensington (8 miles east), St Pancras (12 miles east) and Shoreditch (13 miles east).

Fish and chip van hire in Yiewsley, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and Fêtes, fairs and school events, serving curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
Around Yiewsley, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Yiewsley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

FAQs for Yiewsley
Is parking a problem for the van in Yiewsley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What is fish and chip van hire?
