Our fish and chip van hire in NW6

A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around NW6. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs.

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day.

You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
We check availability and access and send a clear 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.

Planning a chip van in NW6

From Hampstead, Kilburn and West Hampstead to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across NW6 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Kilburn: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Salusbury Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Queen’s Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Planning an evening event in Kilburn? Sunset is around 8:55pm 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.

How we price a fish and chip van

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

Any minimum charge
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Parking and the way in
How many people are eating

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

A picture of where the van would go
Where the event is
The date and time of the event
Dietary needs, with numbers

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

What the van needs

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
A spot near your guests

Takeaway run or book a van?

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.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Confirm allergies by email
Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Organising for someone else?

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

NW6 questions

Is it a full meal?

It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

Often, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Which fish do you use?

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

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

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
