How fish and chip van for events works in Greater London

Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. Typical bookings include sports tournaments and summer fairs, with sausage and chips, chips and haddock and chips.

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Event catering across Greater London

In Greater London’s villages, events may have limited power and water, and town events in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone need quick service for bigger crowds. A chip van handles both. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

London: For visitors coming by rail, Elephant & Castle station is in London itself. Church fêtes, at churches such as St George the Martyr, are a natural home for a chip van. Evening events in London have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Access that avoids crowds
  • Agreement from the site for a catering van
  • What’s available on the pitch

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Display allergens for each stall
  • Tell us expected visitor numbers
  • Share pitch details
  • Agree who removes waste

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.

A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different.

FAQs for Greater London

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do you do crew food?

We can. Give us numbers and a time.

What about visitors who do not eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can you come to a school event?

We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.

What are the terms for events?

We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
