Where the van can park in Dulwich Village
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A clear way in for the van
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
As a London location, Dulwich Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Count families who are joining in
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Ask about smaller portions
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
