How our fish and chip van for events works in Battersea
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for sports tournaments and music and food festivals.
Events in Battersea range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Where the van can park in Battersea
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Battersea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Battersea
Do you trade at school fairs around Battersea?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is parking a problem for the van in Battersea?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do festivals?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
