Our fish and chip van hire in SE12
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and staff lunches and team days.
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send 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.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Planning a chip van in SE12
SE12 covers everything from Eltham, Hither Green and Well Hall to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Lee: Coming by train? Lee station is in Lee itself. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Brindishe Lee School, can book the van as a food stall. Around midsummer it stays light in Lee until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Questions from SE12
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
- 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
