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 every portion goes out hot and crisp.

A fish and chip van across UB9: what to know
UB9 covers everything from Hillingdon, Uxbridge and Harefield to 9 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Harefield: If you had The Green in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Harefield Baptist Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Around midsummer it stays light in Harefield until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

FAQs for UB9
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
