Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Dartmouth Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Dartmouth Park
Can the van park in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Brookfield: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
