What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Clapham Junction: your questions answered
Could you trade in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Clapham Junction?
Clapham Junction has its own station: Clapham Junction station.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.

Other occasions in Clapham Junction
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Clapham Junction, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
