Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Book as early as possible for December
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the spot with the venue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

A winter fair at a school like Knollmead Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Here we cover the KT19, KT4 and KT5 postcode area. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Curtis Road, Rowden Road and Grafton Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Old Malden?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In December, it is dark in Old Malden by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
