How our fish and chip van hire works in Brompton
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We are often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
Around Brompton, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Brompton
Could you trade in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Simon Zelotes?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Planning an evening event in Brompton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

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. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
