How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer visit in Leamouth, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Light near the van after dark
- Away from bedroom windows
Leamouth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
