Fish and chip van hire across NW8

Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions in NW8. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and summer garden parties.

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Fish and chip van hire in NW8: local guide

There are 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in NW8, so whether your event is in City of Westminster, Paddington Green and Lisson Grove or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Lisson Grove: Parks such as Regent's Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Churches such as St Paul's Community Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does. In Lisson Grove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

Allergies and dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
