Our fish and chip van hire in DA7
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Popular choices include mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for summer garden parties and festive get-togethers.
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Cost
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book our van
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Near you in Bexleyheath
Locally, our bookings take us close to Trinity Baptist Church, St Catherine's Catholic School and Upland Primary School, among other places. Other local landmarks include Danson Park (0.9 miles west), Bexleyheath Academy (within half a mile east) and The Volunteer pub (within half a mile north). There is a railway station in Bexleyheath itself: Bexleyheath station. A little further out are Broadway Shopping Centre (less than half a mile south-east) and Bexley Hospital (within half a mile west). The countryside around Bexleyheath includes Summer Hill and Wansunt Pit.
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Colyers (1.7 miles north-east)
Planning a chip van in DA7
Across DA7, we serve 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Erith, Northumberland Heath and Lessness Heath to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Bexleyheath: If you had Danson Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Within reach of Bexleyheath are historic houses such as Red House (less than half a mile south-west) and Danson House (0.9 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. By late September, sunset in Bexleyheath is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
How we price a fish and chip van
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
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.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park.

- Whether VAT is included
- How much space the van takes up
