Fish and chip van hire in UB8: what to expect
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions in UB8. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral.
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
What you will pay
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Mushy peas

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early

- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
UB8: your questions answered
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
