About fish and chip van hire in E13
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are often booked for garden get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening.
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.

Space, access and the venue

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
