Fish and chip van hire in SW5: what to expect
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 cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff lunches and team days and community events and fairs.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.
- 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.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
What it costs in SW5
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Does the batter contain gluten?
