Fresh fish and chips in Hayes
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

About our party fish and chip van in Hayes
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We are frequently asked to cater children’s parties and anniversaries and engagement parties, serving haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Most parties in Hayes are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Hayes
Could you trade in Barra Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Hayes?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hayes is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What else we do in Hayes
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Hayes hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over
- Bookings across Greater London, including Hayes
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

If the day starts at Church of St Mary, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. For party guests on the train, the nearest station is Hayes & Harlington station, about 0.9 miles south.
Here we cover the UB3, UB4, UB8 and UB10 postcode area. Whether your party is on Church Road, Drenon Square and Townfield Square or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Hayes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
