Our fish and chip van hire in CR0
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll recommend what fits. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers.
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
What you will pay
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your guests already know

Fish and chip van hire in CR0: local guide
CR0 covers everything from London, Croydon and Broad Green to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
London: Historic houses near London include Mansion House (1 mile north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.2 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. Thinking of using Newington Gardens? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. By late September, sunset in London is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Occasions we serve in CR0
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In CR0, people book us for occasions like:
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Birthday celebrations
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
- Festive get-togethers
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. 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.
Questions from CR0
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
