Fish and chip van hire across SW1V

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

For event organisers in SW1V
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
