Fish and chip van hire across EC2Y
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and birthday celebrations.
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
What you will pay
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A quote that spells everything out
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp.
Questions to ask before booking
- The van’s size and access needs
- If the price includes VAT
- What the price includes, item by item
- Travel, tolls and road charges
For event organisers in EC2Y
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

If you are planning any of these, we can help:

Your questions about a fish and chip van in EC2Y
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
