Our fish and chip van hire in W7
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and summer garden parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
What it costs in W7
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planning a chip van in W7
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in W7, so the setting can be anything from Southall, Hanwell and West Ealing to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Hanwell: A green space like Drayton Green is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, there is a station right in Hanwell: Hanwell station. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Hanwell, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
