A chip van near Morden

Should I sort the food myself?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Quick service from the hatch

See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.

Where the van can park in Morden

We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Morden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

From the hatch

  • Curry sauce

What a fish and chip van costs

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Access and parking
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How far we travel
  • Service time

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Choose a lit spot for the van

Plan cover for the queue.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Questions from Morden

Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Is parking a problem for the van in Morden?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Will the weather be a problem?

The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

How the day works

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Morden around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get an access check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
  4. We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

  • 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
