FAQs for Yiewsley
Can you serve after a service at St Matthew's?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
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.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cover Yiewsley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Yiewsley and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evenings in Yiewsley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan bins near the queue
- A short menu helps everyone
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
