Our fish and chip van hire in UB10
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are often booked for weddings, especially the evening and summer garden parties.
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Cost
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why hosts in UB10 choose us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Fish and chip van hire in UB10: local guide
Across UB10, we serve 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hayes, Hillingdon and Uxbridge to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Hillingdon: For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is West Drayton station, about 2.2 miles south-west. Thinking of using Norman Leddy Memorial Gardens? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Late September evenings in Hillingdon lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
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. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day.
What your quote should include
- The van’s size and access needs
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- The cancellation terms
- Payment terms and deposit
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for UB10
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
- 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
