Our fish and chip van hire in UB2
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. We are often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and christmas parties, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
What you will pay
There is 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.

A fish and chip van across UB2: what to know
From Southall, Hanwell and West Ealing to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across UB2 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Southall: For a fundraiser at a school like Hambrough Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Thinking of using Minet Country Park? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Light matters for evening service: in Southall, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
Occasions we serve in UB2
People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Garden get-togethers
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Work Christmas parties
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Count children separately
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
