Fish and chip van for events in Avery Hill, fried fresh
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are often asked to cater school summer fairs and sports club events and race days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Street parties and school fairs in Avery Hill are a great fit for a chip van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Where the van can park in Avery Hill
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
- A queue area clear of rides and games
As a London location, Avery Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For an evening event in Avery Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Avery Hill
Which station is closest to Avery Hill?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Avery Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
