Fish and chip van hire across N20
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 mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and company team days.
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Oakleigh Park: Coming by train? Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north, is the nearest station. Parks such as Swan Lane Open Space usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Evenings in Oakleigh Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
Why a fish and chip van works
It suits relaxed, sociable events, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.
Here are some of the occasions we serve in N20 and Greater London:
- Summer garden parties
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Weddings and evening receptions
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in N20? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
