Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Carshalton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Update numbers if they change
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the waste plan with locations
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
