Planning an event in Blendon?
How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter fairs in Blendon are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- We cover Blendon and the whole of Greater London
- Hot food handed straight over
- Something for visitors to gather round
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Information about power and water
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Blendon 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Blendon
Is parking a problem for the van in Blendon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you come to Blendon?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Blendon. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
