Fresh fish and chips in Chelsea Harbour
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Chelsea Harbour
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We are frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and fundraisers, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
London street parties and fairs in Chelsea Harbour need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Information about power and water
Chelsea Harbour 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Chelsea Harbour
What’s the nearest station to Chelsea Harbour?
Chelsea Harbour has its own station: Imperial Wharf station.
Can the van park in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Chelsea Harbour stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
