Chip van hire across W1D
From Soho, Chinatown and West End to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W1D range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Aldwych: After a service at St Mary le Strand, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Evenings in Aldwych stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
