Fish and chip van hire in W1G: what to expect
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and work Christmas parties, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
What you will pay
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras

A fish and chip van across W1G: what to know
Across W1G, we serve 1 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Fitzrovia or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Fitzrovia: Thinking of using St Anne's Churchyard? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. For a fundraiser at a school like All Souls CofE Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. In Fitzrovia, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Fewer choices mean faster service
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
