About fish and chip van hire in NW1W
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and company team days.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
What you will pay
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Chip van hire across NW1W
NW1W covers everything from St Pancras, Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
St Pancras: Within reach of St Pancras are historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House (0.9 miles south-east) and Benjamin Franklin House (1.3 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Evenings in St Pancras 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
For food that suits almost everyone, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How late numbers can change

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Common questions in NW1W
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
