Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Keep the queue dry
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

Keep the walk from the door to the van short.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why book with us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Perfect for your Christmas party in Little Chelsea

Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Little Chelsea book the van for events such as:

  • Christmas lunches for shift teams
  • End-of-year club parties
  • Festive gatherings after Christmas
  • End-of-year customer events

Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Andrew can book the van as a hot-food stall.

Choosing a fish and chip van

The process

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Little Chelsea in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

Little Chelsea 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.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Little Chelsea: your questions answered

Can the van park in Burton’s Court?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to Little Chelsea?

Imperial Wharf station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Where do you take the van?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
