Fish and chip van hire in SE3: what to expect
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. On the menu are gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for care home visits and festive get-togethers.
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Pricing in SE3
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Fish and chip van hire in SE3: local guide
Across SE3, we serve 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Greenwich, Westcombe Park and Well Hall or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Blackheath: Parks such as Manor House Gardens usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. For a fundraiser at a school like All Saints' Church of England Primary School Blackheath, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Light matters for evening service: around Blackheath, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in SE3
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
