About fish and chip van hire in N1

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll recommend what fits. We are frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and milestone birthday parties, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.

We start with a few details about your event.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
We cook to order on the day for your guests.
We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Chip van hire across N1

N1 covers everything from St Pancras, Shoreditch and Hoxton to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Hoxton: For guests coming by train, Hoxton station is in Hoxton itself. Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (1.4 miles south) and Dr Johnson's House (1.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. Planning an evening event in Hoxton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Confirm allergies by email
Count children separately

After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Working with your venue

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

N1: your questions answered

Which fish do you use?

Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including N1.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can the van park on grass?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
