Fish and chip van hire in City of London: what to expect

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and gatherings after a funeral, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
  5. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Cost

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

  • If the price includes VAT

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
