How fish and chip van hire works in N11
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and fish and chip days at care homes.
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- A short menu helps everyone
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
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.
Tell people when the van opens.
Prices and what affects them

- Distance and any road charges

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
