Fish and chip van hire in W12: local guide
From Acton, Hammersmith and Bedford Park to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W12 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Shepherd's Bush: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Addison Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Coming by train? There is a station right in Shepherd's Bush: Shepherds Bush station. Light matters for evening service: around Shepherd's Bush, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
