FAQs for Morden
Which station is closest to Morden?
Morden has its own station: St Helier station.
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.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Crew catering near Morden
Morden is about 2 miles south of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Morden is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Morden to London (9 miles away).
With the B279 nearby, Morden is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Nearby historic houses include Southside House (1.9 miles north-west) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.5 miles south). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Wherever your shoot is in SM4, SM3 and SW20, we can fry fresh for your crew. Your shoot could be at a house on London Road, Epsom Road and Holne Chase or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Morden on the B279, which makes the journey straightforward. Other places close to Morden we cover include Lower Morden (1 mile south-west), Sutton Common (1 mile south-east), North Cheam (2 miles south), Worcester Park (2 miles south-west) and Stoneleigh (3 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (9 miles north-east), City of Westminster (9 miles north), Marylebone (9 miles north), Kensington (7 miles north), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles north-east).

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear route to base
- Lighting for early or late service
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, Morden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Morden lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or SM4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
